Crossword Genius

Organised kind journalist (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sorted

'organised' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'kind journalist' is the wordplay.
'kind' becomes 'sort' ('sort' can be a synonym of 'kind').
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'sort'+'ed'='SORTED'

(Other definitions for sorted that I've seen before include "Classified, grouped" , "Arranged into groups" , "Categorised" , "Shuffled into desired order" , "Put into order" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
