That said, u/nostromo raises a good tangent. When I worked at my college newspaper, which was before Google had become so dominant a fact of day-to-day life, there was no second thought about publishing the name, age, and address of suspects in the police blotter (the daily listing of suspects arrested, mostly for public intox). The age and address were part of the arrest record, and important to disambiguate between similarly-named people. Back then, it hadn't yet occurred to society how Google effectively made info permanently, globally, and efficiently searchable. Nowadays, I think the status quo for college newspapers is to not print names: https://www.poynter.org/news/college-papers-dropping-arrestee-names-crime-blotters https://www.poynter.org/news/college-papers-dropping-arreste...
