Under employment law, am I entitled to receive feedback?
Thanks,

No.
When employers interview several people and choose one, their attention should be focused primarily on the person who will become the new employee. After that, they may spend some time on candidates who seem right for future openings at that company or in the industry.
Spending time on candidates who just don't seem right may help the company's reputation in the community, but also might hurt it. I have tried to give constructive criticism to this third category of candidates and sometimes found that they wanted to argue about our decision and my judgment. It took time away from what I should be doing and turned disappointed applicants into angry ones.
Coming Friday: Bottlenecked at his own paper, he's looking for other places where there might be more opportunities to advance.
