CODE of Blogging (Bloggers CODE of Ethics)

Well, I have read about this in the local newspaper a few days back, and think would like to post about it here. Will not say much about it, but rather let all of you judge about it… but please no offensive comments…

Taken from 1malaysia.com.my, here are 10 of the ethics in blogging:

• Be honest and fair in gathering, reporting and interpreting information
• Never plagiarise
• Identify and link to sources whenever feasible
• Never publish information they know is inaccurate – and if publishing questionable information, make it clear it’s in doubt
• Distinguish between advocacy, commentary and factual information
• Admit mistakes and correct them promptly
• Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity
• Explain each blog’s mission and invite dialogue with the public over its content and the bloggers’ conduct
• Disclose conflicts of interest, affiliations, activities and personal agendas
• Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others
