::::::::Thanks for the answer. I live in Switzerland and I can assure you that in this part of the world, nobody mentions any Sikrikim, but just calls them ultra-Orthodox Jews with the pictures to go with it − and it is not a tabloid matter either. If you read Yiddish, you probably also read German, try this article from Die Zeit. Die Zeit is a fairly highbrow conservative/liberal weekly, as far from a tabloid as it gets in German.
