I had the pleasure of moderating a roundtable on online comments a few weeks ago, and Jack Lail has posted a note on Knoxnews.com about the roundtable that gives an excellent summary and links to related info. Kudos to APME for funding this. It’s much needed. I was an early advocate of comments on newspaper sites and I’ve been really disappointed in how the potential for community never really lived up to its potential. I think discussions like this roundtable go a long way toward helping newspapers figure out their role in online community and how best to facilitate it.
