Remarkably modern paper, one trying to impress others (4-7)
I believe the answer is:
name-dropper
'one trying to impress others' is the definition.
'remarkably modern paper' is the wordplay.
'remarkably' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'modern'+'paper'='modernpaper'
'modernpaper' anagrammed gives 'NAME-DROPPER'.
(Another definition for name-dropper that I've seen is " One who mentions well-known friends".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
