There is a very strong argument to be made, and I would make it, that newspapers ought to require real names of people in dealing withe them digitally, with the sole exception of confidential sources in the normal course of news reporting. The pendulum fell off its rocker quite a while ago and newspapers have the opportunity not only to put it back in place, but to do so with care and professionalism, something that has been sacrificed in large measure as we bury ourselves in trivia from unknown sources.
