Let's try the group comment system one more time. Please remember that the main purpose for doing this, aside from the lesson of course, is to make sure that everyone in class is properly initiated on the comment posting process. Please make sure this time that each member of your group is present when you post your comment. Let's save ourselves from the dilemna and the stress.
On to the lesson...
We ended our classroom lecture on being responsible online journalists. The US-based Society of Professional Journalists is proposing a Code of Ethics for Bloggers containing the following in general:
1. Be Honest and Fair - Bloggers should be honest and fair in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.
2. Minimize Harm - Ethical bloggers treat sources and subjects as human beings deserving of respect.
3. Be Accountable - Bloggers should admit mistakes and correct them promptly; Explain each Web log's mission and invite dialogue with the public over its content and the bloggers's conduct.
QUESTION: What can your group add to this as a fourth item in the Code of Ethics?
Limit your answer to 100 words. Deadline: Friday, July 27, 7 pm.

Our group's fourth rule:
GIVE PROPER CREDIT. Bloggers should credit the websites where they got their resources or information and not claim the ideas of other people as their own. In this manner, they would practice being respectful or sensitive of other people's ideas and opinions.
Do not plagiarize. Observe proper attribution of sources. All books, magazines, films, academic papers are protected by copyright laws thus it is not only unethical to plagiarize but is also considered a criminal act.
Be Reader Sensitive
-Millions of people from various places, various gender orientation, religion and culture visit blogs everyday. In line with this, bloggers should consider their readers and what they really need . should be "audeince sensitive". Your blog should be easily unddrstood, easy to read, and non-obscene. It should have clean and clear lay-out, and has a language that is universal.
Be civil and respectful. Respect the works of other bloggers, their beliefs,ideologies, and culture; and avoid plagiarism.
Great to have every group's comment in before the set deadline.
And I certainly hope you used this assignment as an opportunity to initiate everyone, especially those encountering problems, on the supposedly simple process of posting comments.
You've given interesting answers. We'll discuss them in class on Tuesday.
See you and a lovely weekend to everyone!
