Crossword Genius

Row after boss gets a title (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headline

'a title' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'row after boss' is the wordplay.
'row' becomes 'line' (I've seen this before).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'boss' becomes 'head' ('head' can be a synonym of 'boss').
'line' after 'head' is 'HEADLINE'.

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for headline that I've seen before include "streamer, perhaps" , "Prominent text" , "Article title" , "star" , "Newspaper title" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
