Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

I did an interview on student lending for a reporter from Reuters, under the impression that reporter writing it was not going to use my name. She published the article, using my real name, and the amount I currently owe (rather than the amount I originally borrowed) without a signed release from me, issued by her publisher.
The amount I owe on my student loans IS a public embarrassment, and I'm fearful that it will prevent me from obtaining employment in the future, as well as standing as a risk to my current employment: as employers are now filtering their employment pool based on credit. Likewise, she and her editors set up the article in a way that portrayed me abusing the Income Based Repayment system offered by the Department of Education. Is it possible to take legal action against her and Reuters?

Did you have a signed agreement with them not to use your name? If so, then you can complain.
