Editor's put in news that goes around the country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sweden

'the country' is the definition.
(country in Europe)

'editor's put in news that goes' is the wordplay.
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'put in' is an insertion indicator.
'that goes' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'went' mean this ('go' can mean move)).
'news' anagrammed gives 'swen'.
'ed' put into 'swen' is 'SWEDEN'.

'around' is the link.

(Other definitions for sweden that I've seen before include "Stockholm's country" , "North European country" , "N. European country" , "in E" , "Member country of the European Union" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
