I believe the answer is:

rolled

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

'turned' is the definition.
(rolling is a kind of turning)

'journalist after snack' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'journalist' could be 'ed' (short for editor) and 'ed' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'roll' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rolled that I've seen before include "Rotated" , "Furled" , "Moved along on wheels" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
