This could be a double definition.

'pick up' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a good story' is the second definition.
'scoop' can be an answer for 'story' (scoop is a kind of story). I am not certain of the 'a good' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scoop that I've seen before include "Waugh novel; some ice-cream" , "Exclusive newspaper story" , "Book by Evelyn Waugh (exclusive)" , "Find utensil" , "Exclusive news item" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
