• Would you say it on air?• Would you want a story

written on it?

• AVOID REAL OR APPARENT CONFLICT

• Care should also be taken when joining, “following” or “friending” any person or organization online, though you should be following people who help make your job easier.

• BE PROFESSIONAL • PROMOTE TRANSPARENCY

• LOOK BEFORE YOU THINK

• THINK IN REAL-TIME

• MIND THE MEDIUM• Be a good listener and don’t

ignore people who are engaging you in productive ways.

• Foster connections (and potential tips/sources!) by responding to readers. It can be as simple as throwing out a question when you need a source or tip for a story.
