Journalist's exclusive (5)

I believe the answer is:

scoop

(Other definitions for scoop that I've seen before include "Kind of ladle or shovel-like tool - reporters seek it" , "Waugh novel; some ice-cream" , "Book by Evelyn Waugh (exclusive)" , "Find utensil" , "Dredge up" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
