State casually that all stories should include editor's initials (6)
I believe the answer is:
tassie
'state' is the definition.
(I know that Tassie is Australian state)
'that all stories should include editor's initials' is the wordplay.
'initials' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'that all stories should include editors' is 'TASSIE'.
'casually' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tassie that I've seen before include "Small cup in Perth" , "antipodean island" , "Sean O'Casey wrote ''The Silver ......''" , "Sean O'Casey play: ` `The Silver ......' '" .)
