Pick up a good story (5)
I believe the answer is:
scoop
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" .)
