Students, staff and parents: your rights with the media*       You have the right to: Say “no” to an interview. Be treated with respect. Select the time and location of the interview. Have someone with you during the interview. Know the purpose of the story. Ask about the questions in advance. Request a specific reporter and/or refuse to work with certain reporters. Speak to one reporter at a time. Release a written statement instead of having an interview. Refrain from answering uncomfortable questions. Say when the interview is over. Ask for a correction if the information is wrong. Grieve in private. *Adapted from Denver Police Department.
