Good morning Mr. Morisy:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has recently transferred a request from you dated October 20, 2013. It includes a lengthy list, including a spreadsheet of contracts, etc. (Please see attachments). You indicated in your email of October 20 to DHS that "this is a follow up to request number 2013-HQFO-00746."
We have identified a "related" request from you dated March 12, 2013 re Booz Allen Hamilton contracts. (See attachment.) Please clarify, at this point, if the March 12 request is complete for FEMA, as is. In addition, if there are items on the October 20 spreadsheet that would not be included in the March 12 (FEMA) request, please provide a list of them, specifically, a list of contracts (contract #"s) that you are seeking from FEMA only (as opposed to DHS).
Please respond within five business days from the date of this message.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

Muckrock contract request
From: Department of Homeland Security
An acknowledgement letter, stating the request is being processed.
From: Michael Morisy
Hi,
Thanks for your help processing this request. I should not be categorized as a commercial request: This request is part of my reporting process, and I will be writing original analysis and synthesis of the documents in my role as a journalist.
Thank you for your assistance, and please let me know if further clarification is required. I'm also available by phone at 857-488-3081.
Best,
Michael

I previously sent you an email on (date) objecting to being considered a commercial requester. In order to avoid any confusion, I want to make sure that you processed that email as a formal appeal of the commercial fee determination.
Please supplement your record with the following information about my media credentials:
I am the founder and editor of the MuckRock (MuckRock.com) website, which publishes original news content on a daily basis. All of MuckRock's content focuses either on FOIA itself or reports off of documents received via public records requests. Below are a number of the dozens of articles I have written for MuckRock:
https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2013/nov/06/mr-de-blasio-open-nypd/
https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2013/oct/25/librarian-rebukes-nun-over-comic-books/
In addition to my capacity as fouder and editor of MuckRock, I am also a full-time journalist whose work has been published in such online and print outlets as the Boston Globe, Commonwealth Magazine, and the New York Daily News.
My professional biography and some recent articles for the Boston Globe:
http://www.bostonglobe.com/staff/morisy
My coverage of topics from national cybersecurity to privacy to government waste has been cited by a host of other news outlets at the international, national and local levels.
In short, it could not be clearer that I am, in fact, a journalist.
