According to wikipedia: > Identity theft is the deliberate use of someone else's identity, usually as a method to gain a financial advantage or obtain credit and other benefits in the other person's name [..] I don't think anyone can be impersonated based on tax documents, so I'm not sure why you would say that. A valid journalistic act is putting forward information that the public can use to have a better picture about their environment. In my opinion this fits the definition pretty well.
