Blind item

A blind item is a news story, typically in a gossip column, in which the details of the matter are reported while the identities of the people involved are not revealed. The invention of the blind item is credited to William d'Alton Mann (1839 1920), publisher of Town Topics, who often used it for blackmail.[1]
