In The Star todayย –
“Bloggers, including those paid to write product reviews, should set their own standards of ethics.”
Wow. So three bloggers’ opinions count as every blogger’s?
Time and time again, i’ve repeated that bloggers who get paid for their posts/reviews/advertorials (whatever you want to refer them as) should possess some media credibility.
You say you’re not media, yet want to be treated a certain way? What?! Make up your mind!ย
Reading the contradictions in the article made me scowl.
I already knew about the forum held yesterday when one of the PR managers who attended called me to share what atrocity he thought was being said.
Believe you me there will be retaliation on this subject from me and other individuals who do not feel the same way.
They’ll never get over the fact that there are some things they have no control over. And i think someone agrees with them, because your URL led me to some porno site. :O wtf.
is it just me or does is kinkybluefairy also a porn site cuz sometimes i get directed there although i type ur URL
i think u missed the point. we don’t seek to be treated as medias. bloggers. bloggers. geddit?
What is media credibility and who awards it?
Plus why do bloggers need credibility when the national mainstream media doesn’t have any?
It’s not like papers/mags don’t publish partial articles because of large ad spends pointed their way – they don’t disclose this and pretend they are impartial…isn’t that worse?
A Married Man ponders the wisdom of self-imposed ethics.
Hmmm…
OMG looks like i’m not alone. . .i was led to a porno site too when i visited the fairy’s blog.
i was accused by my friends for visiting porno sites -.-
yeap, i got directed to a porn site too at first. :/
Hello kinky..
Found your blog when via google on your Fashion Avenue 2201 blog. I saw that you went to the party during december in fashion avenue? Really? I was there too.. ๐
Btw, I’m still confuse with blogger role. I thought we should be a free mind website? A place for us to speak our mind out?
Nice blog.. ๐
O_O
aiya…lets just all write what we want to write. more importantly, let us mean what we say, and say what we mean.
hopefully, our own conscience/intelligence/maturity will dictate where the line is drawn for us. and lastly, that we will not suffer too much for the lack thereof.
p/s: yeh* you better check on what/who is misdirecting your site to a porn site. kena sabo ler ni…
Are you saying people like you only ideal to write product reviews becos you have media credibility?
Aw c’mon, other bloggers has the right to give their own review and get paid if they were approached in the first place. It’s the risk for the client anyway.
me too…i ended up at a porn site!
yes!! i’m redirected to a porno website too, was so shocked! i thought i’m the only one! i started experiencing this since last night! joyce better fixes this soon! maybe someone hacked the address or something.
The Star sucks. Its biased. I hate local newspaper. Everything boleh – so Bolehland lah.
and wth? your site is now porn?
Where’s the DNP sale you get all your awesome stuff from, Joyce?
