【纳吉的传播媒体观】2009年谈“部落客伦理守则”
本文是马来西亚第六任首相纳吉（Najib Tun Razak，2009- ）于2009年12月10日在个人部落格发表之短文，谈论“部落客伦理守则”（英文版）。
I have always said that new media plays an important role in our political and civic future and that it is important for the truth to be told through responsible reporting. I was therefore interested to come across a new Bloggers’ Code of Ethics that publishers may adopt.
Published on an internet news site, these guidelines are based on the US-based Society of Professional Journalists’ code of ethics for bloggers. A small selection follows.
Bloggers should:
- Be honest and fair in gathering, reporting and interpreting information
- Never plagiarise
- Identify and link to sources whenever feasible
- Never publish information they know is inaccurate – and if publishing questionable information, make it clear it’s in doubt
- Distinguish between advocacy, commentary and factual information
- Admit mistakes and correct them promptly
- Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity
- Explain each blog’s mission and invite dialogue with the public over its content and the bloggers’ conduct
- Disclose conflicts of interest, affiliations, activities and personal agendas
- Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others
I find such standards critical to developing a respectful and productive dialogue, and will endeavour to adhere to them as best as I can. What are your thoughts on this code? Are there any best practices that you can think of that have not been included? ‖ 原文出处 ‖ 马新社摘要版 ‖
