Yes, I was photo'd with my eldest daughter, talking about family history. They also printed some photos of my ancestors. Then a year later I was in an article about molar pregnancy, which affected me in 2002. My kids have been in quite a lot, various things like playing in the snow when the paper asks for snow pictures in the winter etc, plus our wedding and the childrens baptisms. I suppose the only downside, is everybody knows your business!

A few times as a child when in various choir/music festivals with the church.
Once on a carnival float.
Once in the 80s when working at RAF Henlow civilian personnel we were very much involved with YTS (anyone remember that?) we had a lot of youngsters on the scheme and also work experience and I was in charge of it.
Once here in Glos when I wrote to the local paper when our cat was hit by an air gun pellet
Once, also in glos when I was looking at photos in an exhibition and the photographer wanted to take a photo of somebody looking interested for the local paper.

these were all in local papers, not made the nationals.

Yes a few times

Couple of times when we were promoting my Amature Theatre group as I was President at the time.

Dressed as a Clown on stage doing a Charity show for Spastic Welfare Singing Old Tme Rock and Roll with my niece ( I have never lived that down believe me). My name was put in the Paper as "Jacko the Clown"

Been on TV a couple of times too.
Once doing a song with a group
Then a Tonight Show many years ago where they asked if anyone in the Audience knew the song Ilkley Moor Bah Tat. Of course being a Yorkshire girl I knew it and had to sing it on TV

I was in a group photo of a coffee morning a couple of years ago, taken at one of the fund-raising MacMillan Biggest ever coffee mornings.

Grandson seems to be in the paper at least about 4 times a year, either school or community events.
