@mrnoital: The media knowing (or not knowing) isn't entirely the issue. If the SCPD knows... and they know of Huntress, Komodo, and Merlin (the dark archer, season one)... and a chunk of the criminal element in the city knows, then that is more than sufficient. Furthermore, I think it was assumed that Roy (as an archer) had been running with Ollie much longer than a couple of weeks. Unless the time has been clearly stated in an interview somewhere, I should think it would be more like a couple of months (or a month at least), considering that they were already operating as a well-oiled machine in episode one of the new season and Roy was already fully garbed in his archer costume. Of course, I could be wrong about that, but it seems a little more feasible to me than two weeks. Finally, how could a "sufficient" amount of people in the city not know of these things? How could they not know about a group of assassin archers battling it out with a group of Slade's super-powered thugs at the end of season two, for example, regardless of whether the media actually captured it on film? That doesn't make any sense. I should think the word of such events would have spread like wildfire, even if only seen by a handful of witnesses.
At the very least, the SCPD should be referring to him as Green Arrow by this point, which in turn would be enough to get the ball rolling on everyone else referring to him as such by the end of this season.
