If a company changes their name after a lot of bad publicity, it doesn't mean we should pretend that they no longer exist. They change their name to confuse people, to try to shake off their bad reputation. If the article was talking about Academi in the headlines 98% of people wouldn't have a clue that it was really Blackwater in disguise. By referring to them as Blackwater they help people to cut see through the BS and spin that the company has been throwing out to hide themselves behind.
