All you need to do is attend a local event and read the write-up later. Chances are you will not recognize the event. Being "quoted" is really an eye opener.
“Being “quoted” is really an eye opener.”
Ain’t it though? Many moons ago I started running my own small business at my home, the local newspaper was doing a lot of stories on “cottage industries” at the time and they called and did a telephone interview. When I read the story I couldn’t recognize my own business, they got my first name wrong and I mean not even in the ballpark, not even a similiar sound. They misspelled my last name even though I spelled it out twice for the guy. He “quoted” me in such a screwed up fashion that I couldn’t even figure out how he could have come up with what he claimed I said. A few weeks later a local TV station was doing the same thing and they wanted to come out and do film. I quickly made up an excuse and asked them not to call again.
