Exercise getting journalists out of bed (5-2)
I believe the answer is:
press-up
'exercise' is the definition.
(press-up is a kind of exercise)
'journalists out of bed' is the subsidiary indication.
'journalists' becomes 'press'.
'out of bed' becomes 'up' ('up' can be a synonym of 'out of bed').
'press'+'up'='pressup'
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for press-up that I've seen before include "Face-to-the-floor exercise" , "Arm exercise while lying face down" , "Form of arm exercise" , "Gymnastic floor exercise" , "Keep-fit exercise" .)
