Morse vacantly needing help to raise sources of information (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

media

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

'sources of information' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'morse vacantly needing help to raise' is the wordplay.
'morse vacantly' becomes 'm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'needing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'help' becomes 'aide' (aide is a kind of help).
'to raise' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'aide' written backwards gives 'edia'.
'm'+'edia'='MEDIA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for media that I've seen before include "The 14, for example" , "Press, TV, radio" , "Television, papers, etc" , "oils as examples" , "Eg, newspapers, TV" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
