What is an "exclusive"?

An exclusive is a news story or report that is published or broadcast by one media outlet before any others, giving them sole access to the information. It often involves breaking news, interviews, or details that are not available elsewhere. Exclusives are highly valued in journalism because they can attract a large audience and enhance the reputation of the outlet that first reports the story. Journalists may gain exclusives through special access, investigation, or by being the first to cover a particular subject.

Examples

The journalist broke an exclusive about the company's upcoming merger.

The newspaper published an exclusive revealing details of the celebrity's secret wedding.
