Reporter's hope (5)
I believe the answer is:
scoop
'reporter's hope' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for scoop that I've seen before include "Piece of news that no-one else has" , "Book by Evelyn Waugh (exclusive)" , "Press exclusive" , "exclusively yours?" , "Implement for ice cream" .)
