The interviewee has rights, but they are not unlimited.
A STT journalist posted on social media how the company that sent the press release tried to influence the story he was writing afterwards.
Truly: If false information is reported about your company, you can demand that the information be corrected. Finnish journalists are professional and will correct any factual errors.
If a journalist gives a news story a negative context, as in this case, then it's not a factual error, but a distortion made by the journalist. It's not worth trying to change that.
In my experience, the best way to avoid being the target of negative news is to be proactive in your communication. Be open, be timely, be honest. Give reporters story tips. Be helpful to them. Respect their views and choices.
With a long sieve it produces the best results.
