What does "scoop" mean?

The latest news. If a journalist has a scoop, it means he or she has a good new story or piece of information, often sensational, to write about.

Pat Wooden

It's a newspaper term. When something important happens, reporters compete to "scoop up" the story and publish it before their competitors. A paper who is often first with the news is said to "have the scoop". So the sentence is saying that they have the latest information before everyone else.

If you scoop a person or thing somewhere, you put your hands or arms under or round them and quickly move them there. If you scoop something from a container, you remove it with something such as a spoon. If a newspaper scoops other newspapers, it succeeds in printing an exciting or important story before they do. If something such as a dress has a scoop neck or a scooped neck, the neck has the shape of a wide, deep curve at the front. A scoop is an object like a spoon which is used for picking up a quantity of a food such as ice cream or an ingredient such as flour. You can use scoop to refer to an exciting news story which is reported in one newspaper or on one television programme before it appears anywhere else. .........more....... https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/scoop
