Motivated by the recent Esther Baxter vs. Joe Budden fiasco, Mr. Shadeed focuses this Hip Hop Bytes segment on key areas of consideration regarding ethics and integrity in covering local, national, and international celebs on your personal blogs.

Highlights in the segment include information for local bloggers too, but the key points are applicable to all bloggers:

1. Just because you have access to private regarding folks, doesn’t mean your readers do too. Especially local bloggers, posting secrets about people you see regularly could be hazardous to your health.

*Sidebar: I don’t post gossipy stuff about the NC & SC hip hop scene but get told messy information anyway. Some of y’all might want to check your inner circles.

2. Fact check any and all tips before information is posted.

3. Always consider your audience before posting.
