I wonder why tech savvy people don't make use of the perfectly good recording device they carry with them at all times (their smartphones) to avoid being "misquoted".
Let the reporter do as he pleases, but inform him that you have a record of the interview too. That would keep them honest.
It doesn't help one bit. Journalists don't usually let you verify quotes, and once the newspaper is printed, there's little you can do. Even if you manage to get a rectification, no one reads it.
