media release changes by papers

I sent Media releases out for Harbour Theatre's current production recently, only to find that one of the 'local' community papers had added two lines to it, totally changing what I had written and given away the ending of the play! I rang them only to be offered an apology, but please keep sending them information!
My question is, has this happened to anyone else? Can the papers change our media releases so much without consulting me?
We need the publicity, but I'm loath to trust this paper again if they feel free to change to content of a media release so much.
I'd appreciate any comments about this subject, Thank you.

BUT they forgot to include the booking information!!!!!!!!!
for anyone interested in coming to see this chilling thriller acted by an equally redoubtable cast (Barbara Reynolds, Rosemary Longhurst, Georgina Hall, Tina Cooke, Nicola Bond, Valerie Riches, Garry Englishby) then the dates are April 27/28/29, May 44/5/6 Matinee April 30 th 2 pm
