Why nu.nl Doesn’t Share More Details of the Suspect
Several nu.nl Readers Wonde Why We Don’t Share the Full Name And Photo of the Susped Father, As The Police Did. NU.nl only publishes the Last Name and/or Recognizable Photos of Suspects in Exceptional Cases, Because Their Distribution can have far-streaking consequences. And Every Suspect Has the Right to Privacy.
There are no fixed rules for anonymizing suspects, but there are journalistic practices, which also have to do with our independence. We deviate from our usual policy if the right to privacy does not outweigh the public interest of safety. For Example, If the Police Fear that the Suspect May Make Random Victims, Such as the Man Who Shot Several People Dead Around the New Year in Rotterdam-IJsselmonde.
As far as Known, there are no signals that klaas B. poses an acute danger to society in this way. That is why we have chosen not to publish his last name and photos.
