As Nick suggests above, the reporter is local and interviewed me in person, on the phone, and via email, over a couple of weeks. He'll have contacted Scalzi (and Rachel, and MRK, and Nora) by either email or phone, and for various reasons I'm guessing by phone.
The pictures were their own separate thing. And the photographer was awesome, I really enjoyed meeting her. I am assuming the captions and the headlines weren't the reporter's choice. I'm actually on the cover of the print edition of the RFT (I know it's awesome publicity, but introverted me would like to crawl under a rock now) and includes, across the bottom, the line, "Women are aliens, too!" I'm blaming an editor for that, and also headdesking forever.
The reporter really did mean well. He's also terribly young. Or I am getting old, because my daughter said, "Mom, it irritates me when you say grown up people look like they're about twelve. Nevertheless, I think he's still learning how to write articles."
