Comment and Ethics policy
Gothamist recently published its Policies for comments, author contributions, and weblog ethics. It's a good lead that will need to be followed by all professional weblog publishers in order to reaffirm the credibility of the new medium.
Given the ongoing discussion of weblog ethics that has resurfaced with Nick Denton's proposal for a weblog ethics organization, it's good to point out examples that can be used as a template. As Jeff Jarvis has explained, some shared ideas around ethics policies can go a long way towards addressing the issue without a need for a formal or centralized effort.
