Quoted in the newspaper

An article appeared in our local paper in which it stated the following, Gail Zinger said she told Mr. Jahn she'd be asking.... I am Gail Zinger and I did not say that statement as stated. I spoke with reporter and was told, quote " I misunderstood, I thought that is what you told me." I asked for a retraction of the statement and was told that it was a paraphrase and it did not need to be retracted. It has caused me problems, I am being called a troublemaker because of how the article was written. Mind you the reporter did not even take notes of what I actually did say. I am very upset with this, please advise me. Am I wrong to say it was a quote? It does not have quotation marks, but it does say Gail Zinger said. Please let me know, I am curious as to how someone else sees it.
