Reflection

After posting these blog, as a blogger I think there are certain think that blogger have to follow. First, as a blogger we have to know the ethic of blogs. It is because we publish our writing to the public. Therefore, we have to give the accurate and reliable information. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources' reliability and never publish information they know is inaccurate (Cyberjournalist.net, 2005). Second, plagiarism is the most violation in blog ethics. Technological development has multiplied and diversified the vectors for creation, production and exploitation (Lenz, 2004). Therefore, copyright is very important in blog. Third, as a blogger we have to update with current issue and sensitive with the cultural differences. Otherwise, we have in neutral side because the reader can come from different background and culture. Fourth, blogger have to use colors and good design to catch reader attention. Color in a document or on a Web site have to eye-catching and appealing the readers (Reep, 2006).
