Hey,

In your last letter, you said I was a general requester. I am a member of the news media.

Motherboard is the tech vertical of VICE Media, a global media company with offices in the US, UK, Brazil, India, China, and elsewhere: http://variety.com/2016/digital/global/vice-media-alliance-guardian-newspaper-1201937074/

Here is a recent article of mine using public records information: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/us-state-police-have-spent-millions-on-israeli-phone-cracking-tech-cellebrite

I ask that the FBI reassess its assessment and places me in the media bracket.

Thank you,

Joseph
