When I was going through school, we spent a bunch of time specifically on communicating with the press and the public. I was always taught to be very careful about what you put into a press release as it's expected the press will take everything you say will be taken and used out of context. When you give an interview or are using a method of communication that could become public you stick to the facts on the press release or whatever official speaking points you have and leave it at that because the press will take everything you say and spin it out of context. This was in relation to disclosing data and information to the public about scientific findings but the premise is the same for other public communication.
