by actually giving their address.

Here is the article I first came in contact with: http://rightwingnews.com/media/two-new-york-times-reporters-posted-darren-wilsons-home-address-look-see-home-addresses/

Here is the article he quotes and links to that gives the reporters addresses by Charles C. Johnson: http://gotnews.com/cant-publish-addresses-new-york-times-reporters/

Here Snopes eviscerates the claim:

Here is the original article though they did pull the photo of the certificate even though it didn't have Darren Wilson's address in the first place: http://www.nytimes.com/news/ferguson/2014/11/24/quiet-wedding-for-darren-wilson-police-officer-in-ferguson-shooting/?_r=0

So lets re-cap here. Charles C. Johnson who originally gave out the reporters addresses, completely fabricates this story about Darren Wilson's address being given out (because the address on the certificate was of a law firm in Clayton, MO not the Wilson's house in Crestwood) and in a way that makes it sound like giving Wilson's address was the authors main intent, then he turns around and in spectacular fashion, does exactly what he is falsely screaming about, putting the reporters in danger. Not to mention, even if they had given out the actual address, which they didn't, the Wilson's had wisely been gone since August as this article shows: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2014/08/15/at-darren-wilsons-house-neighbors-say-he-and-his-family-took-off/
