If you have a visitor visa and passport valid for your stay in the US, you may perform some journalist and media activities. The permissible activities include:
Attend a conference, seminar, or similar meeting as a participant; you must not report on this within or outside the US
Give a lecture or guest speak. You must not receive payment from more than five institutions within any six months and must not exceed nine days at any institution
Take a vacation
Handle independent research
Take still photographs that you are paid from your home office (employer) or a source outside the US
For some activities, a visitor visa may not suffice, nor will a journalist visa USA. In such cases, a temporary worker visa might be the best route.
