Name in the papers, although they wrongly promoted me. I'm just a Magistrate, not a District Judge.

Sometimes it's not the reporter's fault, but it's the editors, who slice up the article to fit the column inches and wind up changing the context entirely. In my litigation days, I found that the best way to ensure accurate reporting (from my point of view) was to provide the reporters with written material - in other words, write their article for them. Never underestimate the value of a good press release.
