If a blog is to meet the '''Concrete''' requirements it should have strong supporting evidence that is creditable and appropriate to the topic at hand. | |||
The [[http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp Society of Professional Journalists]] suggests that one do the following to help maintain strong supporting evidence when writing: | |||
— Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error. Deliberate distortion is never permissible. | |||
' | — Identify sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources' reliability. | ||
— Never distort the content of news photos or video. Image enhancement for technical clarity is always permissible. Label montages and photo illustrations. | |||
— Admit mistakes and correct them promptly. | |||
— Expose unethical practices of journalists and the news media. | |||
— Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others. | |||
