Soledai Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Yes. The news in my area does this short birthday segment where they show photos and the age of people with a birthday on that day, and when I turned 11(iirc), my old lady decided to do have me on it. It was, fortunately, a very uneventful day Then there was another time I was breifly in the background of someone being questioned, something about gas, I don't remember.

Loki Laufeyson Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Submitting 'Why do you think NinjaMonkey bothers making bad posts about the thread here?' as the next QOTD, let's get some speculation going I have loads of theories about this but ill save them for another time. (PM me if interested) https://vine.co/v/eVAdLBXP7bF QUESTION SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-TWO: Have you ever made it into the news? What for? Yeah actually. When i was a wee ankle biter in the Days of Yore. The local news did a little story on my school's History Day. (where we all got to dress up like historical figures and junk) I was Sacagawea and did a little interview as to why Sacagawea was a total badass. I used to have the VHS recording of it but i dont anymore. I think i was 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Yes, but you could only see my bottom half XD. It was back when I was in elementary school which was... ten years ago? Wow. My brother also appeared on the news before, but again it was ten years ago. Kind of related(?) but I am seen in the movie "Hello, My Name is Frank" during the graduation party.

Terrador Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 My sister was riding a horse in one of those filler public interest pieces for a molasses news day when we were smols, and if memory serves, I was namedropped in some district paper for making National Merit Scholarship Semifinals? Thankfully, I haven't had any actual reason to be in the news yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fengaridotdll Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 No, but my sister did. Granted her face was blurred out and it was a five-second cameo (they were filming something at her school back when she was about six) a few years back.

Acacia Sgt Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Well, this one time at the beginning of a semester the local TV station was interviewing students at random about their thoughts, or expectations... something about the coming semester. And I happened to be among the interviewed, as I couldn't escape in time to avoid being spotted. Though I didn't got to actually see the broadcast, as the time conflicted with my schedule since I would be in school when it aired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espinosa Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 As a school student, I appeared on TV news once for answering what was at the time an urgent political question regarding education. I only was 15 or so. Much later in university, I was approached by a journalist during a political event but I avoided answering her questions and walked away because university authorities finding out about my participation could very likely get me expelled or given the profs a reason to fail me in their courses. I never checked the news that day, but I figure they opted to exclude me from the programme rather than show my refusal to respond (at least, I never got in trouble for being present and nobody has ever informed me about seeing me on the news again).
