      "speaking on the fly" is often less representative of what they actually want to say, can lead to misguided "gotcha"s.

      I won’t defend misquoting, obvs, but this is an area where the source’s interests are not the same as the journo’s

      The journos interests should not be catching the source in a gotcha or badly phrased sentence—for non-practiced people.

      Problem I see with email is that it allows people to not answer questions they don't want, and avoid follow-ups.

      But being able to write their best answer is a plus. Let people do that, maybe on the condition they take follow-up Q?

      Email will always have its place. Problem is young journos rely on it too much, hate the phone.

          The thing is, “this is inaccurate” is only one of the many reasons sources object to a quote

          What is the interest in not letting an academic be precise about their statement? I've seen so many horrible examples.
