Chops wildly (5)

I believe the answer is:

hacks

(Other definitions for hacks that I've seen before include "Coughs" , "Shack up with plain reporters" , "kicks on the shin" , "Chops at like routine writers" , "Cuts crudely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Telegraph and the Evening Standard.
