DU the NYT: "NYT' Introduces Comments on Web Stories

[banana republican]

NEW YORK Quietly, without promoting the move, The New York Times began this week publishing on its Web site readers' comments at the end of certain articles. This is a move The Washington Post and USA Today, and many other newspapers, began long ago.

However, most papers do not "moderate" comments unless a reader flags them. The Times, however, has created a new "comment desk," with the hiring of four part-time staffers, "to screen all reader submissions before posting them, an investment unheard of in today’s depressed newspaper business environment," Public Editor Clark Hoyt reveals today. "The Times has always allowed reader comments on the many blogs it publishes, with those responses screened by the newsroom staff."
