CENSORING FREE SPEECH IN A NEWSPAPER!
An anonymous bloglover has sent in a mail by the HR department of a newspaper. The anonymous mailer asks us to guess which newspaper. Read on --
Dear All,
Weblogs, or blogs, have indeed become a force multiplier in the media industry. They have generated, provoked and forced discussions and debates, influenced policies and exposed incorrect reportage and even plagiarism.
While we should, of course, celebrate this new channel of communication, we need to put in place certain guidelines for ourselves.
*If employees choose to use the web to express their thoughts and ideas, they should keep the blog strictly personal.
*Should not mention any event/people related to the workplace on the blog.
*Should not reveal any information the employee has access to as part of his/her work.
*Should not divulge contents of any official communication.Violation of these guidelines will be considered a breach of contract between the company and the employee and will invite strict disciplinary action.
Thanks,
HR Department
