[quote="mrP(Boonen)VT"]It was a difficult call, when out of the blue a journalist rings up, and I tried to give as balanced view as possible, and add my point of view, so should I have said "No comment" and not co-operated?
a tough call, usually best to simply state the facts (unless you're dealing with the red-tops) and assume/hope the reporter will take the time to write a reasonable report.
On the plus side you do now have a contact and you have "points in the bank" so if you need something covering or you want to raise something else you can mention the unfair coverage you received last time and twist his arm the next time.
