scoops
Reporter's big gets
Scoops is the plural of scoop—a utensil for lifting and transferring loose material, or the amount it holds: two scoops of ice cream.
A scoop is also an exclusive news story obtained before competitors: The reporter landed the scoop of the year.
To scoop is to lift with such a motion or to beat rivals to a story.
