Media request from Agence France Presse
Economic and political events over the past 10 years have served as a wake-up call to many Americans that life can take dramatic turns overnight. Some have decided to start getting themselves ready to ride out difficult times on the horizon, while for others, being prepared has already been a long-time priority in life.
I am a videographer for Agence France Presse, an international news wire, and I'm interested in producing a 1.5 to 2 min. video about someone who has decided to gather and store food, energy sources, and other supplies to last for 6 months or more in preparation for economic, political or natural emergencies.
The shoot would take at most 2 hours. We are a two person crew--one videographer and one print reporter. During the interview, I would ask questions about why you have made preparedness a priority in life. If you are located in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, please contact me at 917-533-3261 so that we can schedule a pre-interview.

We had a similar approach made to members of a survivalist web-site here in Australia, however the person trying to organise this was sent away with a flea in his ear.
In the U.S., unless you're at a location that's impossible to identify or locate, and you personally are impossible to identify, (or locate, in the case of at least one member here), why would you want to advertise your preparedness to potential raiders/looters/MBZs etc.? (Apart from your 15 minutes of fame, that is.) When in doubt, apply rule ·223 or ·308 -- unless you have a more preferred calibre.

I think this is more of an over the phone interview, seems to be a YouTuber

Not sure about that Johnny - one of the two is a videographer.

Most of those folks are now offering to let you blindfold them on the way in. They'll do anything to let you feel comfortable. If they don't then don't them them near you.

I am thinking that one might have to consider, they might actually make reporting appear as, your a bunch of nuts!
