Crossword Genius

News chief from Buxted I torment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

editor

'news chief' is the definition.
(chief on a newspaper)

'from buxted i torment' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EDITOR' is hidden within 'buxted i torment'.

(Other definitions for editor that I've seen before include "Media boss" , "Newspaperman" , "One prepares a work for publication" , "cutter?" , "Person in charge of a publication" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
