Another Blog Policy Example

Kudos to Hill & Knowlton for opening their doors to employee bloggers. You might be interested in reading the employee blog policy, to which each blogger has signed up:

  • I will acknowledge and correct mistakes promptly
  • I will preserve the original post, using notations to show where I have made changes
  • I will never delete a post
  • I will not delete comments unless they are spam or off-topic
  • I will disclose conflicts of interest (including client relationships) where I am able to do so
  • I will not publish anything that breaches my existing employment contract
  • I will distinguish between factual information/commentary and advertising
  • I will never publish information I know to be inaccurate
  • I will disagree with other opinions respectfully
  • I will link to online references and original source materials directly
  • I will strive for high quality with every post - including basic spellchecking
  • I will write deliberately and with accuracy
  • I will reply to emails and comments when appropriate, and do so promptly
  • I will restrict my posting to professional topics
  • I will write on a regular basis, at least once each week

  1. Susannah,

    Thanks for highlighting us. Your readers might also be interested in the personal blogging policy we published as a precursor to our ”official” efforts.

  2. What a great set of policies! 
    Now, if we can just get all of us bloggers to follow them too.
