Would be far more viable had the Australian press not also been shot.
You'd think the microphone and news camera crew would give away the fact that they're press, but I guess not. The PRESS identification is generally seen worn by war correspondents, rather than standadd press (they use lanyards moreso than flak jackets).
That being said; there is definitely an argument to be made that the US should be receiving war correspondents rather than standard journalists; and journalists being shot on camera definitely strengthens that argument.
Nosism is well established in the English language; I can't even see what you're talking about in the OP; but had I seen 'we' in place of 'I' or 'Me', I would have taken it to mean the context is the application, rather than the developer.
Also, a team can be one person.
