Day a Murdoch journalist wrote for Private Eye , perhaps (9)

I believe the answer is:

satirised

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wrote for private eye perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'day a murdoch journalist' is the wordplay.
'day' becomes 'sat' (abbreviation for Saturday).
'a murdoch' becomes 'Iris' (author Iris Murdoch).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'sat'+'iris'+'ed'='SATIRISED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satirised that I've seen before include "Lampooned" , "Held up to ridicule" .)
