I dont have time to find the case this weekend, but years ago, a judge ruled that people posting on Twitter and Facebook are indeed members of the press. I think it had something to do with an ireporter photographing or videoing something and then posting it.

Any competent lawyer drags that case into it as a reference and it could tie in along with the ruling above.
