Digs introduction to Starsky and Hutch special (6)
I believe the answer is:
scoops
'digs' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'introduction to starsky and hutch special' is the wordplay.
'introduction to' indicates taking the first letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hutch' becomes 'coop' (I've seen this in another clue).
'special' becomes 'S' (common abbreviation as in Special Air Service).
The initial letter of 'starsky' is 's'.
's'+'coop'+'s'='SCOOPS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scoops that I've seen before include "'Stories obtained, by a newspaper say, before others (6)'" , "News items published by paper before others" , "First news discoveries - journalists seek them" , "Shovel-like utensils" , "Exclusive news stories" .)
