Ban media publishing personal details of alleged offenders before conviction

We want the Government to ban media reporting of personal information - including name, picture, workplace, address - or alleged offenders before they are convicted. Even if someone is found innocent their future and reputation can be ruined by media coverage of allegations and a trial.
