“The documentary about the Josefin Nilsson”
“Therefore, we publish not the name.”
“In connection with the reporting on the documentary ”Josefin Nilsson – Love me for who I am” has Aftonbladet received many questions concerning why we do not publish the name and picture of the person who in the 1990s was convicted for having assaulted her. It is a relevant question. That there is an interest in the events, despite the fact that they are located relatively far back in time, there is no doubt about that. The documentary has created a huge commitment. “
“Someone namnpublicering is, however, not in the documentary or – at least so far – in the other major media in Sweden.”
“There are several reasons to refrain namnpublicering. Overall, it is reasonable that a person convicted in court and served his sentence should not have to be exposed to the publicitetsskada a namnpublicering in major media means, two decades later. Especially if the person then its not been convicted for similar crimes. Then reduce the public interest – not to be confused with the great interest in general – over time.”
“the Assessment around the namnpublicering shall not be affected by the anger against the old the judgment, or to the documentary attracted a large commitment in both social media and in the form of a ljusmanifestation. Namnpubliceringsfrågor is always difficult, and every decision is unique. Seen to it that so far is known, in this case, we mean that there is no reason to publish the name and picture.”
