A reporter can make more money working with a scopist!
Here is an example that clearly demonstrates how this can be done:

Day 1

Reporter A with scopist
Appearance Fee: $75
200 pgs @ $2: $400
Copy order: 200 pgs @ $1: $200 

Reporter B without scopist
Appearance Fee: $75
200 pgs @ $2: $400
Copy order: 200 pgs @ $1: $200

They each make $675 for the day.  

Day 2
Reporter A with scopist
Appearance Fee: $75
200 pgs @ $2: $400
Copy order: 200 pgs @ $1: $200
Makes $675 for that day

Reporter B without scopist
Scoping own work: $0

Makes $0 for that day

Reporter A pays $1.15 per page to scopist ($230) and ends up with $445 for the day.

Reporter B spent the day scoping the job from Day 1 herself and made no money on Day 2!
So Reporter A makes $890 (after the $460 paid to scopist) for the two days and Reporter B makes $675. Reporter A makes $215 more than Reporter B, plus the scopist is tax deductible! So a busy reporter can be losing money if not using a scopist.

(The above numbers are for example only.)
