I TOTALLY agree with Joan. Jane apparently saw your post, contacted you, you exchanged ideas (via email, I'm assuming) and Jane used them. Since you apparently did NOT specifically ask to NOT have your name used, your ideas were attributed.
Bottom line: if you dont want your name in the newspaper either:
a) dont talk to reporters, or;
b) if you simply cannot avoid a., proactively insist that your name not be used..
IMHO, it appears that Jane did nothing wrong.</font>
I thought reporters had to (if not had to, then should as a courtesy) ask "may I quote you on this".
