However, I do believe that the actual "codes" outlined in both Blood's and Schneider's articles are good common sense tenets to follow, whether I'm writing an essay for a single person to read & grade OR for a larger audience to consume and comment upon. I think the issue is just heightened a little when it comes to talking about blogs because they are a form of broadcast in many ways, making it all the more important to be upfront with things like personal biases.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824518465418501658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22205561.post-1158844631315689972006-09-21T09:17:00.000-04:002006-09-21T09:17:00.000-04:00For me the ethics of blogging are essential -espec...For me the ethics of blogging are essential -especially if you are blogging as part of your position at a library or other institution. If that is your role you have to think about the impression that you're giving on behalf of the institution. It may appear to you that ethics are a no-brainer and it's likely that you have a good sense of ethics, but there are many out there that don't think that way. (People have been fired for bad-mouthing their employers on their blogs.) And, don't forget about your future... I forget which article it was in, but future employers may check out your past blogs and hire or not hire you based on things you've said in the past. Sorry if I'm sounding rather maternalistic. (I suppose that I must also admit my bias - I was an Ethics Officer [Research] for 5 years. That probably explains my passion for the topic.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
