Planned for lawyer to attract attention of journalist (7)
I believe the answer is:
schemed
'planned' is the definition.
(scheming is a kind of planning)
'lawyer to attract attention of journalist' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'journalist' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for schemed that I've seen before include "Plotted and planned" , "Devised plans" , "Secretly plotted" , "designed" , "Cooked up" .)
