That's how it's done in Norway and a bunch of other European countries, though the media usually don't even name convicted people unless there's major reasons/interest.

Also interesting, and quite sad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQSPBQjaWhI

The way it’s been explained to me is that if a journalist is going to name an accused, they should follow the case and publish the outcome as well.

For minor things, that’s not worth their time so they won’t name them.

Not a 100% practice, but I guess that’s what they teach in school.
