In journalism the ethical standard is both parties have to state an acknowledgement of a conversation being off the record before the conversation occurs.
I’ve had some people say to me “I’d like all future conversations with you to be off the record/confidential unless we agree otherwise”. I agreed to this.

(I have several journalist friends and I don’t do this, and now I’m wondering if I should start)
