Coups in journalism (6)

I believe the answer is:

scoops

(Other definitions for scoops that I've seen before include "'Stories obtained, by a newspaper say, before others (6)'" , "First news discoveries - journalists seek them" , "Shovel-like utensils" , "Exclusive news stories" , "News items published by paper before others" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
