No, their basic rights. His own comfort with dropping potential connections to his ID name does not at all impact his right to keep a pen name. There is no justification I can see to deny him that right, especially given NYT gives that right to freely, including to own employees.

It's not inalienable in the sense that there are cases where it's justified and I cannot for the life of me concoct a justification for a random blogger who is also a doctor and has a very legitimate reason for his real name not pointing to the blog via NYT.

Also, I don't really think Banksy is an apt comparison. I agree that NYT amplifying it is a different thing then it being vaguely out there, but I don't think that it is an unjustifiable decision, it is hard to tell without the content of the articlehttps://twitter.com/Chronotope/status/1275449180295581698 …

Blog to real name is very very very different Google to real name via NYT. One is your existing fan base can find your name. The other is all your future patients *start* with your blog. I cannot understand why NYT gets to make that call with zero justification.

Yes, that is a recent thing if his real name immediately points to his blog. It still doesn't for me, and I immediately checked after the brouhaha and it did not. I lived with a same name person threat for years, page one versus page two, even is everything.

To put it this way, even if his real name googling eventually led to his blog, taking it from page two to page one would make a huge difference in his life. It's not something any newspaper should do to anyone without significant, substantive and transparent justification

Yes, and SPJ rules of ethics make it clear that's a major factor. He seeks influence and, in my experience, has achieved so with specific choices and alignment with some questionable corners of the web.https://twitter.com/Chronotope/status/1275477380895825927 …

Aram Zucker-Scharff @ChronotopeReplying to @benlkeithHe helps run a reddit specifically for fans of him. Did he *seek* it initially? Perhaps not. Did he actively cultivate it, interact w/it, make strategic decisions about how to moderate his audience? Did he write w/awareness of his impact and used it to persuade? I think so.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes - Show replies
