I think they identify him as an ex con so that we realize he was going to a job interview that may change him to attain a better quality of life and he chose to think of another's needs first. True selfless hero all the way around!

In the articles it says his name. The headline describes him as such because it would interest more people than "Regular person saves person"

"Ex-con saves person" implies he's learned from his mistakes and is a better person. People love redemption stories.
