BEING A RESPONSIBLE MEDIA USER

We live in a world where the quality of information we receive largely determines our choices and
ensuing actions, including our capacity to enjoy fundamental freedoms and the ability for self-determination
and development. Driven by technological improvements in telecommunications, there is also a proliferation
of media and other information providers through which vast amounts of information and knowledge are
accessed and shared by citizens. Adding to and emanating from this phenomenon is the challenge to assess
the relevance and the reliability of the information without any obstacles to citizens’ making full use of their
rights to freedom of expression and the right to information.

What is Netiquette? Simply stated, it's network etiquette -- that is, the etiquette of cyberspace. And
"etiquette" means "the forms required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be required in social or
official life." In other words, Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online.

Core Rules of Netiquette

Rule 1: Remember the Human


When communicating electronically, whether through email, instant message, discussion post, text, or
some other method, practice the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life
While it can be argued that standards of behavior may be different in the virtual world, they certainly
should not be lower. You should do your best to act within the laws and ethical manners of society
whenever you inhabit "cyberspace."

Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace


"Netiquette varies from domain to domain." Depending on where you are in the virtual
world, the same written communication can be acceptable in one area, where it might be considered
inappropriate in another.

Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth


Electronic communication takes time: time to read and time in which to respond. As a virtual world
communicator, it is your responsibility to make sure that the time spent reading
your words isn't wasted. Make your written communication meaningful and to the point, without
extraneous text or superfluous graphics or attachments that may take forever to download.

Rule 5: Make yourself look good online


One of the best things about the virtual world is the lack of judgment associated with your physical
appearance, sound of your voice, or the clothes you wear (unless you post a video of yourself singing Karaoke
in a clown outfit.) You will, however, be judged by the quality of your writing, so keep the following tips in
mind:

 Always check for spelling and grammar errors


 Know what you're talking about and state it clearly
 Be pleasant and polite

Rule 6: Share expert knowledge


The Internet offers its users many benefits; one is the ease in which information can be shared or
accessed and in fact, this "information sharing" capability is one of the reasons the Internet was
founded. So in the spirit of the Internet's "founding fathers," share what you know!

Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control


What is meant by "flaming" and "flame wars?" "Flaming is what people do when they express a strongly
held opinion without holding back any emotion." (Shea, 1994). While "flaming" is not necessarily forbidden
in virtual communication, "flame wars," when two or three people exchange angry posts between one
another, must be controlled or the camaraderie of the group could be compromised.
Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy

Depending on what you are reading in the virtual world, be it an online class discussion forum, Facebook
page, or an email, you may be exposed to some private or personal information that needs to be
handled with care. Just as you expect others to respect your privacy, so
should you respect the privacy of others.

Rule 9: Don't abuse your power


Just like in face-to-face situations, there are people in cyberspace who have more "power" than others.
Just remember: knowing more than others do or having more power than others may have does not give you
the right to take advantage of anyone. Think of Rule 1: Remember the human.

Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes


Not everyone has the same amount of experience working in the virtual world. And not everyone knows
the rules of netiquette. At some point, you will see a stupid question, read an unnecessarily long
response, or encounter misspelled words; when this happens, practice kindness and forgiveness as you
would hope someone would do if you had committed the same offense.

email rather than a public forum.
2. Knowing more than others do or having more power than others may have does gives you the right
to take advantage of anyone.
3. Just as you expect others to respect your privacy, so should you respect the privacy of others.
4. When it comes to people exchanging angry posts /heated arguments on social media, don’t feed
the flames; extinguish them by guiding the discussion back to a more productive direction.
5. When you post a question and received intelligent answers (e.g. from experts for that particular
field), share you results with others.
6. If you wouldn’t show it in public, then you should share it online.
7. As a virtual communicator, it is your responsibility to make sure that the time spent reading
your world isn’t wasted. Make your communication meaningful.
8. Netiquette does not vary from domain to domain.
9. Things that you can’t say on someone’s face, you should say it online.
10. When communicating electronically, whether through email, instant message, discussion post, text,
or some other method, practice the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto
you.
