I believe that the best things that we as young writers can do is be honest. In this blog, I want to make sure every post is being held to standards that I have put in place for myself. The following code of ethics was created with a bit of help from Kelli Matthew’s Blog Policies as well as the Code of Ethics for Bloggers, Social Media and Content Creators.
- Every post will reflect my own opinions.
- I will strive to support each post with evidence and data to solidify my claims.
- Because this blog is discussing social media, I will make sure to give ample examples of current posts on all social media platforms.
- I will make sure that my own personal social media accounts are honest and professional.
- If something in one of my posts in incorrect, I will edit the post and make a clear statement at the bottom explaining the change.
- I will give credit if I am using other individuals thoughts, opinions, photos or ideas in any format within a post.
- If a comment is posted with a question or response to something I have written, I will work to respond in a respectful and quick fashion.
- I will work to push myself to write about topics within the world of social media that may be difficult to talk about/address.
- If I feel that a post needs to be further analyzed or explained, I will create a follow-up post and explicitly state why I felt I needed to add-on to the original content.
- I will create a blog that I am proud of.
