LESSON 39
Leak and scoop


A scoop happens when a newspaper or a news agency manages to report an important story before any of its competitors.

It's very difficult to get a scoop in the modern media world when so many journalists are chasing the same story.

However, when they do succeed in getting a scoop, you will often see it announced proudly in the newspaper as an exclusive story.

Piers Morgan: A leak is a leak. We didn't publish the material, so it is not a traditional leak.

In this case we felt the mere fact that we had been given it, was sensational enough and we handed it back, because we couldn't guarantee what would happen if we published.
