Ethnical issues - From the (PPC) IPSO editor’s code of
practice list I think the only thing that will relate to me is accuracy. For an
example, I won’t be using children, clandestine devices or financial journalism
which mean the only can relate to me the accuracy. In my blog I will reviewing
cars so accuracy could be an issue, because one mistake could mess up the whole
blog. For an example, if one of my audience could be a salesmen in a Mercedes
Benz’s showroom which means they will know more than me about the cars that I
use in my blog. To avoid this problem I will need to do detailed research about
the cars inside and out. I could use the online research, but for an accurate I
could go to a Mercedes Benz showrooms in London, and record the salesmen talking
about the cars. However, the problem with this they might not have the cars
that I’m reviewing.
Legal issues
Copyright- Personally, I think copyright won’t be an issue
for me, because I will be using my pictures that I’ll be taking of my family
cars, which I have asked for permission. Future more, I’ll be finding out of
own research by attending to the Mercedes Benz showroom in London, and not
using another online websites for my blog. Online sources seem to be people’s
opinions and thoughts on the cars.
Libel- According to the BBC “The law of defamation allows individuals, groups of individuals,
companies or firms to sue for damage to their reputation. You can defame
someone by publishing material in various forms and people can sue so long as
the material can be reasonably understood to be referring to them. Some changes
have been made by the Defamation Act 2013 which came into force in England and
Wales on 1 January 2014.” An example for this could be me writing on the
blog about how the Mercedes Benz prices ranging is too high or too low, which
this is damaging the company’s reputation. So, on my blog I need to be careful
when I’m giving my own opinion, because it could be damaging Mercedes Benz
reputation.
this is a well written account in which you draw on a range of research sources to comprehensively examine potential legal and ethical issues. Well done :-)
