* In ''Film/Godzilla1998'', Audrey Timmonds, who spends the whole film trying to show her chops as an IntrepidReporter and briefly dips into the pool of ImmoralJournalist by stealing classified information about Godzilla from her ex-boyfriend Nick (her boss Charles Caiman then shows he is even more immoral by stealing the credit of the leak from her) tries (quite feebly) to defend herself in the inevitable [[WhatTheHellHero chewing out by Nick]] by telling him that he did not asked her to keep it off the record. Nick only gets more upset.

* In Creator/ArthurHailey's ''Overload'', a reporter on a bus with the others covering the opening of a power plant asks if there's any booze at the meal the electric company is providing. The public relations flack on the bus asks all the reporters if that item will be off the record, and they all agree. Basically, if the electric company can afford to give reporters free booze, it might look (to the public) like they are spendthrifts when it comes time to ask for a rate increase, so they have to ask the reporters to keep that point about the availability of booze to themselves.
