Support. Hot Reporter makes more sense to be about hot reporters. Hot Scoop sounds like it should be about an exciting story tip.

Hot Scoop is more established though at a few hundred wiks.

Check those wicks to see how many of them are about a news story. "Scoop" is an established, pre-existing term for a news story that only one reporter has. I wouldn't look for "hot reporter" using the word "scoop", and I wouldn't expect a trope named Hot Scoop to be about the reporter any more than I would expect a trope named "Big Doghouse" to be about the dog.

I'm not happy with the name Hot Scoop either, for the reasons Madrugada just stated.
The links are all X Just X that I've found, but it seems to be pointing at a character. It really is a pre-existing term for something else though.

Fair enough. I think it was named back during the habit where all the Fetish Fuel tropes were named after phrases that pertained to the career.

Sounds like it's attempting to be a pun, but puns don't quite work when there's no context to indicate that it's anything other than the literal reading.
I didn't have quite so much of an issue with the name as you're suggesting, but I may have first encountered it on some sort of index of sexiness tropes.

If it's a pre-existing term that is being used wrong, and the usage numbers are not high enough to keep it around in spite of that fact, then I support a rename.

This isn't a rename suggestion.
These are two different pages.
Yeah, it wouldn't be a rename, just a merge the other way. And it would open up Hot Scoop to be the trope for actual Hot Scoops which we lack at the moment.

Would it be the same as This Just In!, or just related?
Related. It's that teasing story that a reporter is offered by an outside source and the rush to be the first to break the story.

Bumping to get this resolved.
Bumping again. Can this really be that difficult to resolve?
"Well, it's a lifestyle"
I made Hot Reporter a redirect to Hot Scoop. Page source
, if there were any examples on that page that weren't on Hot Scoop.
Both Hot Scoop and Hot Reporter are about attractive journalists, with little if any distinction between them.
I say cut Hot Reporter, and maybe merge the definitions. Two of Hot Reporter's three examples are on Hot Scoop.
