tabloid

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

'rewrite' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'maybe sun to ad-lib' is the wordplay.
'to ad-lib' can be anagrammed to 'TABLOID'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tabloid that I've seen before include "Small format newspaper" , "Star, maybe" , "daily, perhaps" , "Populist newspaper" , "Small-format newspaper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
