Dear Ms. Campbell,

I am writing in response to your letter classifying me as a commercial requester, dated Dec. 1, 2014. I am a professional journalist and am requesting these documents as part of the news gathering process. My writing on national security regularly appears in outlets that include the Boston Globe, Al Jazeera America and GlobalPost. In addition, I am a digital producer at the New England Center for Investigative Reporting, a nonprofit investigative journalism newsroom. My relationship with a number of media outlets insures that any articles I write based on these documents will be published and distributed widely for the general public.

In short, I am requesting these documents in my professional capacity as a member of the news media and believe that I am entitled to a fee waiver. If you need any additional information in order to process my fee waiver request, please feel free to contact me at this email address.

Thank you for your time and help.

Sincerely,
Joshua Eaton
