Dube’s “Blogger’s Code of Ethics”–posted on the media convergence and technology Web site Cyberjournalist.net–was created by modifying the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics for the blogosphere.
“Responsible bloggers should recognize that they are publishing words publicly, and therefore have certain ethical obligations to their readers, the people they write about and society in general,” Dube writes in the Code’s preface. He also suggests bloggers choose their own best practices and use his code as a guideline.
