Requiring a real name will have a chilling effect. Someone might be willing to share their name internally to aid verification, but not want their name attached to their story.

NYT is seriously harming their data collection by insisting real names be attached and published.

I’m pretty sure the clause at the end of the questionnaire is just their default. They say “no, your contact information will not be published” right before the questionnaire, which I’d take to mean that no, they aren’t going to include your name.
