Note contact for a journalist getting supply of money (8)
I believe the answer is:
resource
'supply of money' is the definition.
(financial resources)
'note contact for a journalist getting' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 're' (as in do-re-mi).
'contact for a journalist' becomes 'source' (a journalist might use sources for a story).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
're'+'source'='RESOURCE'
(Other definitions for resource that I've seen before include "Means of help in project" , "Available reserve to draw on" , "Supply to draw on when needed" , "Anything that's there to assist when needed" , "Possibility of help" .)
