Crossword Genius

Pick up a story (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scoop

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'a story' is the second definition.
(scoop is a kind of story)

(Other definitions for scoop that I've seen before include "bail" , "Hot story" , "Type of ladle" , "Piece of news that no-one else has" , "Haul" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
