A news story that has been given to one publication and can't be found elsewhere.

• A. Dateline
• B. Copy
• C. Exclusive
• D. Below the Fold

Answer: (C)

This is best described as an exclusive. An exclusive means a news story is provided to one publication and isn’t readily available to others, giving that outlet the first (and sometimes sole) opportunity to report it. This creates a unique selling point for the publication and can come from a special agreement with the news organization. Dateline refers to where and sometimes when a story was reported, not who can publish it. Copy is simply the text of the article itself. Below the Fold is a layout term describing a story placed below the top fold of a page, not about distribution rights.
