Rules of Engagement
Objectivity
- Remember that the goal of journalism is to be factual and balanced in your reporting. We all have a favorite–or not so favorite candidate! However, this is not the platform to express political views.
Respect for Others
- Do not post comments to others that may be demeaning. The goal of the platform is to learn from one another. You may comment on the headlines and information that your peers present but please do so in a respectful manner.
Avoid Obscenity/Indecency
- Do not use or re-tweet vulgar language in the platform
- Do not post or re-tweet images or links to images that are obscene or indecent in any way
