Do these kind of media requests have to go through global moderators, or could any rag start quoting posts and replies on Bogleheads,

Fair use doctrine would cover almost any use of something posted on this board by a reporter. But most reporters want quotes from non-anonymous people for their articles.

Is this strategy something we want to publicize for potential targeting? I guess the article will be written with or without Boglehead cooperation.

I imagine the reporter is not limiting herself to only Bogleheads. The story may not even mention Bogleheads. Her request probably goes out via other media.

This is a major, well-respected reporter who writes one of the most important columns at one of the largest news orgs in the country. I'm sure she's going to pull all sort of data from the federal government and other background information.
