narks

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'needles' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'suppliers of information' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for narks that I've seen before include "Coppers' ..... are slang police informers" , "Irritates" , "singers" , "Annoys; informers (sl.)" .)
