Have you ever been on TV or newspaper article? Why? Was it voluntary? Do you regret it? Was it job related? Did you save a copy of it? ?

As a teen I was in the newspaper and on the news a few times. I was a part of a dance group. We did some street dancing and classical/modern ballet on stage. We would draw crowds of people outside movie theaters who would lose track of time and have to get their ticket changed so that drew a news report. We also had a few articles on our theatre performances. I typically would get a lead role so they used photos of me. On one occasion I was on stage shirtless and in dance tights or leggings. I'm 5'8" and when I was 19, I weighed 180lbs with 5% body fat. I was highly animated with chiseled face. I should have taken more pictures, but I was running from my internal vanity. I feared letting my body define who I was.

Anyway I never regretted that time though I did some stupid stuff.

My grandma probably still has copies of the news articles as she was the primary one who told me about them and showed me she purchased extras to save.

While it made me feel good as a teen I had already decided I didn't want to pursue fame so I stuck to that decision. I never liked being out front, but at the same time I knew I liked it too much. I felt it was a dangerous combination for my overall mental health.

When I was a kid I was briefly shown in my spot in the audience when my mom was a guest on a talk show. And one time I was in a kind of brief atmosphere shot in a local news story about a program I participated in for mental health and trauma recovery. I was also in a couple of tiny articles in a city newspaper, these having to do with some kind of academic achievement or volunteer work I did as a child and teenager. It wasn't really. I didn't have any say in any of this, really. But I have no regrets. I don't have any copies of these per se, but I think I have a picture of the paper that had my picture on the front page.

Yes. A few years ago, a prominent cardinal in the Church visited my area and gave a presentation. A reporter from a local news outlet was sitting next to me and interviewed me briefly at the end. My interview was featured in the article.

I was quoted in the newspaper once. The guy totally took what I said out of context and made me look bad. I would never speak to anybody from the press again.

When I was very little, I was on a TV game show, not as a contestant, but as a someone doing something the contestants had to guess about.

Yea, I was in the local newspaper a lot in high school and college and had about 15 minutes of fame as an adult when my company was featured in about 40 sports magazines

[Lynx122]

I was in the audience of a sports news show once that was the only time. :)

Once interviwed on the news, once just shown in the crowd on the news, and once I had my headshot in a travel magazine.

I have the magazine.

I’ve been on a kids show and I’ve been on TV for my sports like the boxing golden gloves championship match

[RedInnocent69]

Yes. Both. A few times actually. Radio too. Mostly events or work. Yes, it was voluntary. No, I don’t regret it. Yes, I saved copies. Although not sure I have all the TV spots.
