Well, the entire purpose of a scout is to balance what the Reporter does. A reporter doesn't always have time to check up on leads and get interviews. They do, but they need help in organization, usually, every reporter has 1 to 2 scouts, but that's only after it's large. In the beginning, the Reporter usually does everything on their own, but because it's a smaller thing, it's easy to do.

Also, I never started the EoFF Newspaper persay, i just reported during the elections and the terrorist attacks on EoFF.
