Scoops are important and likely to interest or concern many people. A scoop may be a new story, or a new aspect to an existing or breaking news story. It may be unexpected, surprising, formerly secret, and may come from an exclusive source.

Due to their secret nature, scandals are a prime source of scoops (e.g., the Watergate scandal by ''Washington Post'' journalists Woodward and Bernste ...
