A newspaper would follow basic journalistic protocols: make it an editorial if it remains without individuals identified; have a second independent source otherwise (e.g., a witness, someone who had a similar experience with that person); minimally (indeed minimal standards in the last couple of decades: at least a single person in a position of authority, responsible for the truth of the matter, in a position to know - this used to get you a C+ back in journo school in the 90's, but is par for the course in many newsrooms these days).
