Hi Neil,
I think I remember discussions where people were disapointed about what
journalists have put in the DPL's mouth. For written interviews, I seriously
consider to post my answers first on -private for comments.
For something completely unrelated to Debian, I have done a phone interview in
the past. While the result was not too bad, the journalist was definitely in a
strong position to lead the discussion in a way that produces quite predictable
answers. If I am elected DPL, I will decline that kind of interviews.
If after all these precautions, there is an article that still deforms what I
said or wrote, then yes, depending on the situation I may ignore it according
to the importance of the media, perhaps after consulting the DDs on
debian-private. Internet is very big, and to try to correct things that are
written there often has the effect to make them more visible.
Have a nice day,

Charles
