You raised important privacy issues regarding the coverage of this tragic event. In this bright, brave new world of web transparency-- there is a dark side. Good to be aware of it. It may be that future contracts will include, in the event of______, data will be blocked from public viewing. We shall see.

I think Louis has handled this story well. It is a deeply personal, sensitive matter in many respects. What is also true: if good journalists/bloggers/engaged citizens don't handle and explore the cross roads of public and private life, then *all* we're left with are the worst of the tabloid gossip publishers who will fill up the vacuum on their own terms.

I don't blame the newspaper for de-emphasizing its source, given the circumstances, but I also respect Mr Gray's reporting on the reporting under these circumstances.
