Speech gets publicity coverage (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

address

'speech' is the definition.
('address' can be a synonym of 'speech')

'publicity coverage' is the wordplay.
'publicity' becomes 'ad' (advert).
'coverage' becomes 'dress' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ad'+'dress'='ADDRESS'

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for address that I've seen before include "Begin to deal with" , "Speech - written on an envelope?" , "skilfulness or tact" , "Speak to at home?" , "Direct words at" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
