From the supplier: Reporters and editors often have to decide whether or not they should withhold information to the public as requested by law offices. Typically, the appeal for withholding information is made to avoid tipping off suspects in crime cases who may flee if they watch or read in the news that they would soon be apprehended. In grey areas such as in cases like this, reporters and editors should adhere to guidelines at all times.
