To make it official, you just need a card with the word "PRESS" tucked in the band of your fedora.
"Member of the media" seems an inexact phrase. "Membership" implies a status other than, if not necessarily superior to, jobber or hobbyist: e.g., editorial or strategic control. The average reporter/listicle maker/meme curator exercises little or none of that.
OT: I think TWYRCL would be mad at me if I made a habit of suggesting that concertizing soloists preface recital encores with "Let's rub some Bach on it," but I cannot name a figure so high that I would not pay it to hear Yo-Yo Ma yell that at a goggling PBS audience.
I was once filling out a survey that was trying to detect how much time people spent in volunteer work, and so they kept asking the question in twelve different increasingly broad ways and finally I counted my time here as service work. Yes, it's part of a community. No, I don't get paid.
Ogged really does get all the money?
Also, that your hair looks great lately.
omg, thanks! I super love my new haircut.
Now that ogged has a job again, maybe he can start footing the hosting bill.
How bad is it, nosflow? I was thinking the other day that it's sort of shameful I don't contribute, but that's as far as I got with that thought.
It's pretty trivial. It would probably be even less if we migrated off linode (as we really, really should do).
And of course you do contribute, Thorn, with your comments worth more than gold.

Are you having a stroke? Should we have your household tech system call the hospital or order you a pizza?
I could contact my erstwhile co-collectivists at cb pizza and order a pie for you nosflow!
I dunno, the toppings at CB I Hate Pizza can be pretty out there.
21 is such a great joke I'm moved once again to wonder how in the world I'm single.
I would say that's a question I contemplate for at least two, maybe three hours a day (not consecutively minute by minute, but taking all the intervals sumwise). It really is a stumper.
That said, a cb pizza would be swell.
Ha! I love black march and it also sounds like a cb pizza! We should do a cb pizza meet up sometime. Member discount ftw!
Is that really something you think about so much, nosflow? You should have a bunch of kids; it really keeps your mind off it. It makes me kind of look forward to being alone forever.
No, it isn't; certainly not at such length or with such regularity, and anyway I'm pretty sure I know the answer.
Just checking! People around here do some odd things, but not me of course.
I take no responsibility for your getting yourself banned.
That said, I'm pretty jaunty-emoticonish myself. Initial court date on Canada Day and there will finally be progress! Because this is a leap year I think actually 365 days since I told her that she had no hope of coming back to a relationship, though I could be misremembering which day it was in my timezone versus where she was then.
