Abstract
COSTA E SILVA, Elsa. The (non)regulation of the blogosphere: the ethics of online debate. Comunicação e Sociedade [online]. 2014, vol.25, pp.236-251. ISSN 1645-2089. https://doi.org/10.17231/comsoc.25(2014).1871.
New technologies have enabled innovative possibilities of communication, but have also imposed new upon matters of ethics, particularly in regards to platforms such as blogs. This article builds upon the reflections and experiences on this issue, in an attempt to map and analyse the ethical questions underlying the Portuguese blogosphere. In order to reflect on the possibility and opportunity to create a code of ethics for bloggers, attention is permanently paid to the political blogosphere.
Keywords : Code of conduct; values; political blogs; freedom of expression.
