Tabloid snappers (9)

I believe the answer is:

paparazzi

(Other definitions for paparazzi that I've seen before include "Italian freelance photographers, very intrusive" , "Press photographers" , "Freelance photographers, from Italy" , "Freelance snappers" , "Photographers who pursue celebrities" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
