Revealing Scott Alexander’s name in an outlet like the New York Times threatens his personal safety, his career as a psychiatrist, and by extension the care of hundreds of his patients. Alexander’s work as a psychiatrist crucially depends on his ability to write under pseudonym. Additionally, over the course of his blogging career, Alexander has received harassment and death threats, as noted on www.slatestarcodex.com. 

In many previous cases (1, 2, 3), the New York Times has granted pseudonymity to the subjects of its reporting. We urge the New York Times to implement a clear policy protecting pseudonymous writers from outing in cases where revealing their identity is damaging to their livelihoods or a danger to their personal safety, assuming that there is no strong ethical reason to disclose the author’s identity.

This is an opportunity for the New York Times to set a positive precedent for listening to serious privacy and safety concerns. To do the opposite would meaningfully damage public discourse, by discouraging private citizens from sharing their thoughts in blog form. Please do the right thing.

Sincerely,
