Scoop specialises in aggregating "raw news content" in the form of press releases, speeches and transcripts, while also providing deeper "magazine style" reporting and opinion pieces. News Channels include: Politics, World, Business, Science & Technology, Education, Health and Culture. Scoop is seen as a resource of the 'unfiltered' news, with no journalist editing but instead being straight from the source. Scoop does not discriminate what it publishes (except for legal reasons such as defamation) and endeavours to provide a reference for what "was said" by the parties reported on in traditional media.

Scoop has won several awards for their work as a 'democratic' news organisation. The site also received praise from the United Kingdom-based "The Guardian" [cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1024924,00.html|title=Brutal reality hits home|date=2003-08-21|accessdate=2006-11-22|publisher=The Guardian] and media critics.
