Enlist reporters to group (9)

I believe the answer is:

pressgang

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'enlist' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'reporters to group' is the wordplay.
'reporters' becomes 'press' (journalists, members of the press).
'to group' becomes 'gang' (a gang is a group of people).
'press'+'gang'='PRESSGANG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pressgang that I've seen is " Forcible recruiting agents".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
