Hill & Knowlton opens up blogs to all employees

This is nice – Hill & Knowlton (a corporate comms agency) are encouraging their employees to blog – as long as they can pass a short test.

Lots of good stuff here, including a portal to aggregate postings from all H&K blogs.

Their blogging code of practice echoes most of the good ones out there.

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