Crossword Genius

Issue of revolting magazine (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emit

'issue' is the definition.
(both can mean to give out or radiate)

'revolting magazine' is the wordplay.
'revolting' is a reversal indicator.
'magazine' becomes 'time' (US magazine).
'time' reversed gives 'EMIT'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for emit that I've seen before include "Give out or put forth" , "Come out!" , "Let out" , "Sent" , "Exhale" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
