Banned reporters 10:30am on 08 May 2008 Max (post 3) asks why we are naming Paul when the BBC News at 10 on Tuesday night did not. I'm not sure it's sensible to go into the reasoning behind our decision. Safe to say that the circumstances changed to alter our assessment of the risk. It's not just on the blog, but across all our output. It's important that our audiences can trust our reporting - they're more likely to do so if they can identify the reporter. We need to balance that with the risk to the individual. On Tuesday night, the balance was against, on Wednesday morning, after circumstances changed, the balance is in favour. It's a fine call.
