Have you ever been in a newspaper or magazine or on TV?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been on public-access a few times.

I was on local news, interviewed about seeing my neighbour's garage literally explode into a nice fireball.

I have been in the local paper a million times because of my autism and art (I think they are getting tired of doing stories on me and its a cow town paper), I've been in the Olympian a few times (I live near Olympia but in an area where all the cows are), Bird Talk magazine, Dog Fancy magazine (the most recent- in fact just a few days ago), I've been in the Hillsboro, OR paper when I lived there a million years ago, and I am going to be in a book called Artism Anew - go to www.artismtoday.com and I'm on the second page with the bird in the sunset and that comes out next year, and at least 2 other magazines are interested in my story and that will also be next year. Artism is a combination of the words art and autism by the way, I didn't spell it wrong. Its a book of autistic artists.

I was in a knitting magazine when I was a baby, I was in a student film (as an extra) and I was in a commercial for my local library. I also might get to be in a book.

edit: Also, I was on NYC local TV in the background. I didn't see it because it was on the Spanish channel.

My photo's been in my local paper once or twice; accompanying articles that promoted the orchestra I'm in.

My mom and I were in the Idaho Catholic Register, as examples of how Christian Counseling Centers help people.

My wife and I were in the paper a few years ago when some people from L.A. drove by and shot the house with a couple of bullets. They missed, but I must say they did not miss by much.

I was in the newspaper I deliver when I got hit delivering it. It took 3 weeks until it got printed and it was on A7, but I was in the paper. And yes I still deliver it.

I was on TV holding a fish at a boat ramp.

E: I've already posted this. I'm silly.

I was in the newspaper once... nothing personal, just a bit on the high school choir (which I was in at the time.).
God I hated being in choir.

I was an extra in "Apollo 13" and several other movies since then.

Speaking role? Ain't gonna happen ...

I was also an extra, in Roman Polanski's "The Pianist". I played a Jewish girl in the ghetto, and you can see my back for whole 7 seconds

I was never in the news, but I got in the way of it once...

It was '79, and the hostage crisis was going. The College where I was had a demonstration against the Iranians, and the TV crews were there. We had a person on campus who was definitely 'not right', but she had an almost sexual attraction to cameras, microphones, and publicity. Her thing was 'revolution'...it didn't matter what kind, only that it started, and right now! She saw an open mike (bands in the area used to keep a lookout for her, or they'd never get to play...

So she starts yelling into the mic about 'revolution. The camera people saw it, and started elbowing (well, not politely...I was knocked flat on my a** for being in the wrong place at the right time).

I just remembered that I have indeed been in the local newspapers a couple of times.

Mostly for dancing when I was a child.

Just recently, this summer, there were photographs of all graduation classes/grades from 2008 and I was in one of them, of course.

I have been in all three:
I have appeared in local papers for my appearances before the City Council in protest of Proposition 8. These appearances were also covered by local media stations.
I am a published writer and photographer. My articles & pictures appear 6-8 times per year (an example of my work):

I also host an annual food tour of Bakersfield (that's me in the glasses) for which I publish the article in a local magazine:

When I was 15 y/o I made the local newspaper with some bad doing on my part, luckily without name and photograph, if you get my drift. Some years later I made a somewhat bigger paper with some drawings I made; cartoon like things. And one time when a friend then, his lady and I opened a shop/store where we try to sell Spanish wines and cavas and I made a mural painting and we stood in from of it. Promoting our business.

The next I'm kind of preparing now (lawyer and a national newspaper). I'm trying to make it as big as possible. It's about how a local authority treats an (HF) autistic man of 38 y/o and it's going to shake up things here big time.
