Abstract

Netiquettes are guidelines for users’ comments issued by Die Weltwoche. They are intended to facilitate an open exchange of opinions among readers, and the commitment of the news organization to freedom of opinion while taking a liberal approach to the publication of comments. The Netiquettes define the consented and unpermitted type of comments and state that reviewers endeavour to exercise sound judgement and common sense when moderating the publication of comments.
