I was just watching the Nightline Bloggers story on TiVo and noticed
that they didn't put up a graphic with the name of person who was
speaking, or even introduce the person by name.

In the case of Lisa Williams, she was introduced like this:

"one member of the group, a mother, who blogs about being a mother"

Couldn't they they have said:

"Lisa Williams, a mother, who blogs about being a mother"

They could have easily found out her name since they had my video where
I displayed her name when she was talking.

What are the 'journalism rules' for crediting people in stories?
