Get together about the morning paper (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ream

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

'paper' is the definition.
(a ream is an amount of paper)

'get together about the morning' is the wordplay.
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'together about' becomes 're' (regarding. I am not sure about the 'together' bit.).
'the morning' becomes 'am' (as in re:00 AM).
're' next to 'am' is 'REAM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ream that I've seen before include "Twenty quires of paper" , "480 sheets of paper" , "480 or 500 sheets" , "Widen (hole) with borer; twenty quires" , "Make hole larger - lot of paper" .)

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