Male news boss to listen (4)
I believe the answer is:
heed
'listen' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'male news boss' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'news boss' becomes 'ed' (I've seen this in other clues).
'he'+'ed'='HEED'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for heed that I've seen before include "Observe" , "Take notice of" , "Caution" , "Take to heart" , "Be mindful of" .)
