Why are journalists called paparazzi?

The origin of paparazzi:

The word "Paparazzo" comes from Italian paparazzo, which refers to a photographer who specializes in chasing celebrity candid photos. Not derogatory. The ancestor was Secchia Raleigh, a photojournalist in 1950s. He found that magazine editors no longer like to publish artistic photos of celebrities and movie stars, so he decided to create another method of interviewing and shooting-shooting people's real lives without preparation. The photos he took were welcomed by the media because they were real and natural, and they asked him for them at a high price. Although he has a large number of photos of celebrities, he will never make them public because it involves privacy.

He not only worked as a private photographer for actress sophia loren, but also had a good personal relationship with the famous Italian director Ferini. Ferini's film The Good Life is a story about a fashionable figure in Italian upper class, inspired by the photos of Secchia Raleigh. The photographer based on Secchia Rowley in the film is called Paparazzi.
