Exclusive bail (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scoop

I believe this is a double definition.

'exclusive' is the first definition.
('scoop' can be a synonym of 'exclusive')

'bail' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for scoop that I've seen before include "Exclusive report" , "Exclusive story; utensil" , "Ice-cream utensil" , "Book by Evelyn Waugh (exclusive)" , "Hollow concave utensil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
