Why are you saying it like it’s a veneer of legal or ethical grounds? Publishing something that was said off the record would be a violation of professional ethics, whether you personally agree with those ethics or not.
I was referring to a journo signing up for say the training program in the article, and then divulging something that’s legally confidential in a story. That would be killed.
I just used “off the record” as an example of why in journalism, respecting agreements is critically important.
