Don't misquote me!

No amount of media training can stop you being misquoted, but the FT has some tips to minimise the likelihood of being misrepresented. In a story that rounds up famous examples of people apparently saying things they didn't intend to, the FT advises interviewees to end with a conclusion that provides an accurate soundbite, to look out for ways your opponents can lift your words out of context, and to keep a native speaker to hand to stop you getting into trouble if you're speaking a foreign language. The whole story is well worth a read.
