Definition
Picked up or moved something with a scoop or shovel-like motion; or got an important news story before competitors.
Etymology
From Middle Dutch or Low German 'schope' (to push or shove). The 'journalism scoop' meaning emerged in the 1880s when newspapers competed to break stories first.
Kelly Says
The journalism meaning of 'scoop' is actually quite recent—only about 150 years old—but it transformed the word into something exciting. Now when someone 'scoops' news, we imagine journalists racing to get the story, even though the word originally just meant pushing things around.
