Newspaper editor reflected (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mirrored

'reflected' is the definition.
(mirroring is a kind of reflecting)

'newspaper editor' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'mirror' (Daily Mirror).
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'mirror'+'ed'='MIRRORED'

(Another definition for mirrored that I've seen is " Reflected".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
