Do Citizen Journalists Need a Code of Ethics?
"A blog is not writing. It is graffiti with punctuation." This now famous and quite wonderfully dismissive line is delivered in the movie Contagion by Elliot Gould's character to Jude Law's character.

That's for a good blog, and even the worst graffiti takes longer than that to erase.
