Yesterday I had the chance to take the time of Søren Espersen from The Danish People's Party (O) for my interview project about journalism. With a background of being a journalist himself - and later chief public relations officer for the party - he had the greatest respect for journalists. 'I never said that' as a response from a source to quotations in papers, he didn't believe. The paradox, in his opinion, is rather when a quotation is brought into a setting that is far-fetched, with a manipulated illustration photo - or a conclusion that is stretched.
