If it were from a standard synonym crossword, the solution of following clue
Newspaper offence (5)
might be LIBEL. However, this double definition clue is inspired by a cryptic crossword in the Sunday Times created by Robert Price, and the answer begins with the letter T. It might help solve it to know the name of a British broadsheet famous for its salmon pink newsprint.
PS I now realise that Robert Price's actual clue: Newpaper taking offence was better than my doctored version because the solution is a "taking offence".
