We know the terrorist's name, what schools he attended...etc.

But haven't heard a single name of the victims yet.
They released 1 name, I imagine they need to make sure all next of kin are advised before it gets released of course.

The mainstream media is playing views chicken. One or two need to step up and sacrifice ratings for the sake of doing what's right. I know a lot of podcasts and online news outlets have decided to set the standard and not mention names for the reasons you mentioned. The rest are still ratings whores and can't say no.
