[FADS] The Fight Against Destructive Spin » Blog Archive » Should Apple ...: As a communication professional, I recommend they focus on honesty and transparency, especially if Jobs comes back as the chief executive. If he really wants privacy and refuses to be transparent about both his personal and professional lives, it’s time to provide a clear succession plan and put other spokespeople in front of the cameras.

[The Spinks Blog] True Transparency? « The Spinks Blog: This concept has brought out the best in many, as the social web, namely twitter, has become a go-to location to find advice or answers when you’re facing a problem.  Almost everyone is ready and willing to take time out of their day to help you when you need it.  Everyone is supportive of (it seems like) everyone.  It’s truly amazing…but is it truly transparent?

[Living Ethics Blog] Living Ethics Blog » Is Paying Cash For Blog Reviews Ethical? Re ...: Despite our sometimes noble rhetorical positioning, WOM and social media has now become a de facto “media channel,” and the rules of media gravitate to performance-based ROI principles that put massive pressure on “optimizing” for campaign success. I personally regret the intensity and speed of this “media rationalization,” and I don’t think we as an industry (even beyond WOMMA) have fully thought through the consequences and impact of this rush to the next frontier of “attention” and “engagement” on consumer trust.

[Corporate Eye] Please: No More Ethical Businesses! | Corporate Eye: concept, which, to rephrase, basically says that things that seem sustainable can in fact be highly self destructive when the effects are, say, measured over a longer period of time. As humans have a notoriously short memory and limited predictive ability, this would be, to me, the primary barrier to giving primacy to sustainability in business activities: those who until now narrowed their vision in scope to ignore peripheral effects of their activities would simply rotate their axis so to speak and talk about sustainability while ignoring the predictable negative effects that could occur beyond the scope (in time) of most peoples imagination (this is already happening in the green movement whenever business is involved, you may notice…).

[Andy Sernovitz's Damn, I Wish I'd Thought of That!] Andy Sernovitz's Damn, I Wish I'd Thought of That!: Can word of ...: Advertiser agrees to comply with Our Advertiser Code of Ethics, the Federal Trade Commission's Staff Opinion Letter dated December 7, 2006, WOMMA's Ethical Blogger Contract Guidelines, and all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guidelines.

[Affilorama : Affilorama Blog] FTC to Crack Down on Affiliate Sites | Affilorama: @DigitalZip: No, the FTC is a US government agency, and therefore would not hold much water outside the US. It will, however, still have a marked impact on the industry, because no matter where affiliate are based, they invariably use services that are based out of the US, whether it be Google of many of the prominent affiliate programs.

[politicalbetting.com] politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Has Cameron found the ...: The offences committed by Micheal Gove and Chris Grayling - both of whom Oborne rightly identifies as having an important contribution to make after the election, supposing the Tories win it - show some errors of judgement, it is true, albeit ones committed in a culture where just about everybody in Parliament was making similar error of judgement. But the sums of money involved were tiny in comparison with the amounts of money being wasted by the Government on a daily basis on inept, poorly managed initiatives such as sending one family home at a cost of £1M.

[blogs.telegraph.co.uk blog listings.] Telegraph Blogs » Finance » Have US politicians consigned us to ...: Among those who called Bush a success, many gave the president high marks only for his ability to mobilize public support and get Congress to go along with what one historian called the administration’s “pursuit of disastrous policies.” In fact, roughly one in ten of those who called Bush a success was being facetious, rating him only as the best president since Bill Clinton —

[fitzroyalty] a beginner's guide to blogging ethics and strategy - fitzroyalty: I cover some ideas here that are more publishing strategy than ethics, but I have done this in order to encourage critical reflection on the purpose of publishing a blog. I do my best to uphold these ethical positions in Fitzroyalty, and I have linked to posts that demonstrate the principles in action.

[Buckeye State Blog - Pamphleteers of the Revolution] Connie lifted the embargo! I'm free to talk today! | Buckeye State ...: What Connie's column does make clear is that her corporate employer's lawyer came up with a legislative proposal that her employer supports in its own self-interest that she learned about from her employer and that she's now writing a call-to-arms to get Congress, where her husband serves, to make into law.  THAT is what some of us have had an ethical problem with: using a wife of a politician for corporate lobbying.  This isn't just some opinion piece where Connie is pushing a policy she personally supports.  She advocating for the adoption of government policy favored by a corporate interest.  She has, obviously, more than just a personal interest in the matter.  While I don't share the view that she should be required to register as a federal lobbyist as a result, I do think it's closer to that kind of activity than the average citizen's letter to the editor that she tried to make her column sound to be.

[wine me, dine me] Why I'm Uncomfortable with Taste Casting. | wine me, dine me: I certainly enjoy reading many food blogs in Cincinnati, and most of the time I enjoy _Wine Me, Dine Me_ for its generally informative approach to local food, dining, and restaurant updates; however, I am finding the criticism of one person’s alleged self-promotion and so-called “unethical”

[TUSITALA] Kataweb.it - Blog - TUSITALA » Blog Archive » Managing oneself: StrÃ¥berg also stressed the value of the increased transparency and insight developed about the talent pool: “After two or three years, people who were previously known only within their own divisions were known to other people in the organization as well. So that when a recruitment need came up, it was much easier because we had already reviewed people in the management group.

[A House By The Park] A House By The Park » Blog Archive » To G.C. or not to G.C.: We don’t tie our fee to a percentage of the cost of construction- this typical part of the GC structure has always escaped our simple minds: I could never look somebody in the eye and honestly say that I’m going to do all I can to REDUCE costs for you, if my fee (and how much I make on the project) are directly proportionate to the total of the costs (costs rise, what I make rises?!)

[Demand Satisfaction!] Demand Satisfaction! » IMHO Alert: 5 Things I Took Away from BlogWell: Companies who haven't had an online PR branding nightmare (like the celebrated Dominos fiasco) need to learn from the mistakes of others and get some training and planning in place. There's really no excuse here.

[TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home] FTC's forthcoming blogger crackdown: The ethics of product reviews ...: It would be the first time the FTC tries to patrol systematically what bloggers say and do online. The common practice of posting a graphical ad or a link to an online retailer ”” and getting commissions for any sales from it ”” would be enough to trigger oversight.

[Six Pixels of Separation - Marketing and Communications Insights Blog and Podcast - By Mitch Joel at Twist Image] Ethics In Blogging For Dollars | Six Pixels of Separation ...: It's also not about trying to equate journalism with Blogs (that's just another dead horse that no one wants to see trotted out anymore). The question as to whether or not advertorials in Blogs is ethical (and let's not kid ourselves, being paid to Blog about something is not some kind of new media experiment, it's an advertorial and it's been happening forever) seems to be the nut that no one wants to crack.

[innocent drinks] innocent drinks - a blog about our smoothies and some other stuff: it's probably better for the environment for British supermarkets to have tomatoes grown in the Spanish sun flown in during winter than having British farmers using electricity to heat greenhouses to keep them in) BUT it does seem to go against the values of Innocent to be sourcing their strawberries in Poland when both Scotland and England are famous for theirs? Je me demande, pourquoi?
