Press photographers capturing queen (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

papers

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

'press' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'photographers capturing queen' is the wordplay.
'photographers' becomes 'paps' (paparazzi).
'capturing' is an insertion indicator.
'queen' becomes 'ER' (short for Elizabeth Regina ie Queen Elizabeth).
'paps' going around 'er' is 'PAPERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for papers that I've seen before include "Documentation" , "ID etc." , "Documents; the press" , "tabloids, maybe" , "Print media" .)
