Code of Ethics

This code holds me accountable for my posts and blog policies. It is important for me to be transparent to my readers. I have adapted this code of ethics from my Allen Hall Public Relations adviser, Kelli Matthews.

1. I will tell the truth.
2. I will write deliberately and with accuracy.
3. I will acknowledge and correct mistakes promptly.
4. I will preserve the original post, using notations to show where I have made changes so as to maintain the integrity of my publishing.
5. I will never delete a post.
6. I will not delete comments unless they are spam, off-topic, contain personal attacks or hate speech. All comments are moderated.
7. I will reply to emails and comments when appropriate, and do so promptly.
8. I will strive for high quality with every post – including basic spellchecking.
9. I will stay on topic.
10. I will disagree with other opinions respectfully.
11. I will link to online references and original source materials directly.
12. I will disclose conflicts of interest.
13. I will keep private issues and topics private.
