Scoop is a term commonly used in journalism to refer to a news story that is reported before anyone else has the chance to cover it. It often involves exclusive information that can attract significant public interest. Journalists strive to obtain scoops to enhance their credibility and the reputation of their publication. In addition to journalism, "Scoop" can also refer to a type of ice cream serving tool, designed to easily scoop out portions of ice cream from a container. This tool is often made of metal or plastic and features a curved shape to help create perfect, rounded scoops for serving desserts.
