I share your frustration. I've been reading newspapers since the early '60s. Back then, who, what, where, how, why, and when, were commonly found in news stories. Not so anymore, especially on the internet such as in Yahoo News and TV station stories where just bare bones information is given with absolutely no followup questions from the reporter leaving the reader exasperated by the lack of information.
I’ll give a pass on the ‘who’ for now - if they have to track down relatives to notify them. But even there, the reporter should ask, and get ‘name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin’
