Just curious: why would you use the word "economies" rather than "states", or perhaps less formally "countries"?

Because of force of habit. I work for a NFP with membership of China and Taiwan, and we have to steer a narrow course around calling places countries or economies. I got used to this habit.

Or why it being journalism matters. Podcasting = working. Journalism = working. They should run in to the same problems with tourism visas.

Somehow journalists make headlines when this happens. Lots of people enter on a tourism visa and do not earn income but are in the us for a mixture of reasons -what gets reported, is journalists being caught and expelled.

I have an APEC card. I only ever enter for work. I think it's considered ok to recreate, having entered for work related reasons.

Journalists make the headlines because journalists make the headlines.

AK-SHU-ALLY journalists write articles and copy-editors write headlines.

Sorry, had to do it.
