Crossword Genius

Send up and look at daily paper (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loft

'send up' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'look at daily paper' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daily paper' becomes 'FT' (the Financial Times is a daily newspaper).
'lo'+'ft'='LOFT'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for loft that I've seen before include "Room At The Top" , "Storage space under a roof" , "Propel through the air" , "Open space at the top of a building" , "Sky" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
