Types info covered by journalist with Time (9)
I believe the answer is:
subgenera
'types' is the definition.
'info covered by journalist with time' is the wordplay.
'info' becomes 'gen' (informal term for information).
'covered by' says to put letters next to each other (on top of in a down clue).
'journalist' becomes 'sub' (sub-editor).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time' becomes 'era' (era is a kind of time).
'gen' after 'sub' is 'subgen'.
'subgen'+'era'='SUBGENERA'
(Other definitions for subgenera that I've seen before include "Biology classes" , "taxonomic groups" , "Biological groups" , "Small groups" .)
