Meet Scoop

Scoop is theTailed's illustrated newsroom editor and mascot. Scoop represents the editorial desk rather than a real individual journalist and appears on stories under the byline Edited by Scoop.

What Scoop stands for

Scoop's job is to keep the newsroom curious, clear and accountable: following timely pet stories, checking what the evidence actually says, separating confirmed facts from developing reports and making complicated subjects understandable.

How stories are produced

Articles are researched and produced by theTailed Editorial Desk. Important factual claims should be traceable to the sources listed with each story. Health coverage is general information and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified veterinary professional.
