Bloggers: Please Stop Posting False Content To The Public by gonaij: 11:53pm On Mar 06, 2015
On the 4th and 5th day of March,
2015, marks the Workshop for
Nigerian Bloggers and Social
Medias Workshop which was setup
to train blogger and social media of
Nigerian on the Ethics and Conflict
sensitivity in online content.

During the Programme, it was
made clear and corrected that the
online content is one of the major
conflict sensitivity from the writter
to the persons' being referred to,
also, it was made clear that before
any content should be on a blog/
social media, the persons' being
referred to should be informed,
either by call, message or mail, so
as to avoid conflict after such
content is being posted on the
social media.
Also, If any content is copied from
a website or any Social Media,
Credit should be written on where
the information is coming from.
It was also made clear that
because of blogger to get much
views in their content, the
exaggerate the hapenning, inorder
to get lot of traffic, for example, if
there is a bomb blast of 10 people,
the bloggers/social media experts
write about 100 people, so it can
impress people to read their
content, this act might be working
for you somedays, but after a
while, once people know that your
content is always not accurate/
fake, they ignore your blog once
they see a post from it.

also, before any blogger could post about something, it better he/she get evidences, confirmation and approval of the topic, to make sure he / she is not posting a false information, which might end up misleading the public
