I'm continuing our experiment at identifying top Internet PR Resources in a variety of categories. This next week, we are asking for your suggestions for articles on "blog ethics" (we don't consider that an oxymoron).

We are looking for leads to intelligent articles on subjects such as:

- Should bloggers identify conflicting or vested interests?
- Guidelines for using ghost bloggers.
- Lessons from the Wal-Mart/Edelman blogging fiasco.
- Fake blogs.
- Transparency in blogging.
- Is it okay for bloggers to accept merchandise and other payola?
- Have blogs knocked down the wall between editorial content and advertising?

I've asked students in my Tulane Internet PR class to locate and review articles on Blogging Ethics this week. Please feel free to point them to articles you like -- or post your own reviews.

Thanks for your assistance!
