Remove creases from papers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

press

This clue is a double definition.

'remove creases from' is the first definition.
(as in ironing or pressing clothing)

'papers' is the second definition.
(the newspaper industry)

(Other definitions for press that I've seen before include "somewhere to keep clothes" , "harass > crowd" , "Jam" , "Urgency" , "demand immediate action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
