Yup.

My sibling spent some time working around prostitution related issues. When they were interviewed, words were literally put in their mouths as quotes, and what they actually said was ignored. You either fit the narrative that they'd been told to go out and find, or you were made to fit it. I imagine because the Overton Window is small enough that reporters aren't able to work outside of it.

I have been interviewed twice for articles in Wired and once for Chemical & Engineering News. The resulting articles fairly represented what I said in the interviews and also treated the overarching article subject well.

I generally don't put much stock in anecdotes, but if others are sharing "the press always gets it wrong" anecdotes I might as well share my more positive ones.

Besides potential misinterpretations by laymen (which journalists often are) the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_bites_dog principle often takes effect.
