CMV: Victims and suspects deserve the same amount of anonymity in news coverage stories.

If a victim or a minor does not wish to have their name and age disclosed on media coverage, whether it be through a news article online or in print, or a news story through television, then the suspects or criminals being arrested in breaking news stories should also have the same choice of anonymity. For example, there is a recent story about a woman in a vegetative state who got pregnant by a nurse at a healthcare facility. The nurse was arrested for sexual assault and abuse of a vulnerable adult with his name and age given to the public through numerous news outlets while the woman's name was not disclosed, but her age was. The man should not have his name and age disclosed like that if he does not want it to be. Change my view.

While it has its down sides, especially in sensational cases, the fact that the names of the accused are public is a really important aspect of U.S. Democracy and freedom.

When you hear about somebody in another country being "disappeared", then you're hearing about what happens when the names of the accused aren't public. The government can simply quietly arrest someone, try them, and convict them out of the public eye, without the obligation to inform anyone of the reasons why, or give friends and family a chance to step up and help the accused out.

A system of justice needs to be as transparent as possible to prevent abuse. And a public accounting of ongoing accusations and trials is a critical part of that transparency.
