What you need to know when blogging

It's been there for some time now but here it is again. The Blogger's Code of Ethics courtesy of Cyber Journalist.

A BLOGGERS' CODE OF ETHICS
Be Honest and Fair

Bloggers should be honest and fair in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.
Bloggers should:
• Never plagiarize.
• Identify and link to sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources' reliability.
• Make certain that Weblog entries, quotations, headlines, photos and all other content do not misrepresent. They should not oversimplify or highlight incidents out of context.

First one is really important!
