Scoop USA is a business simulation game centered around managing a newspaper company. The core gameplay revolves around gathering news, writing articles, designing layouts, and ultimately distributing the newspaper to the public to generate profit. The player starts with a small, struggling newspaper and must make strategic decisions to grow their circulation, improve their reputation, and ultimately dominate the market. Key aspects of the game include hiring and managing staff, such as reporters, editors, and distributors, each with their own skills and salaries. Players must assign reporters to cover different events, balancing the cost of coverage with the potential for impactful stories.

The quality of the news coverage directly impacts the newspaper's readership and reputation. Writing compelling headlines and articles, as well as choosing appropriate images and layouts, is crucial for attracting readers. Furthermore, players must manage their finances carefully, balancing expenses with revenue generated from sales and advertising. Strategic investments in equipment, marketing, and staff training can lead to long-term growth. Competition from rival newspapers adds another layer of complexity, requiring players to analyze their competitors' strategies and adapt accordingly. Successfully navigating these challenges leads to a thriving newspaper empire and the achievement of game objectives, like becoming the most widely read newspaper in the region.
