Posted by Jonathan Hewett in : delicious links , trackbackCNET requires similar standards for employees who blog as for journalists:
"Andrew Nusca, a recent Columbia University journalism school grad and editor and producer for ZDNet (part of CNET, which was recently acquired by CBS), forwarded me a copy of the blogging policy that his company made available to him.
…it also mandates that the blogger should "do your homework," essentially requiring that the employee must adhere to the same journalistic standards in his personal blog that he would in work. "Check your facts and give readers enough context to understand whether a particular post is written to report, analyze or offer an opinion on an issue," it says. "Use citations and provide links to other relevant topics. Correct any mistakes." "
