Never Trust Anyone Who Says 'Trust Me'
As part of his Bayosphere project, Dan Gillmor has put forth a "Citizen Journalism Pledge" (Let's Discuss the Citizen Journalism Pledge). It contains a number of unobjectionable bromides (fairness, thoroughness, accuracy, openness) and avoids some awful ones (such as objectivity). But I'm with Jeff Jarvis on this one, I don't really see the need (I Pledge Not To Pledge).
A pledge assumes ill will and mistrust, requiring that we promise we won't do something bad. If we're decent and you trust us, we shouldn't have to do that.
Read the whole thing.
