Spotlight - Publishing, Complementing Comment

For a long time now the fashion adopted by most online media sites is to allow comments to be made against published articles.

Putting aside the problem of spam comments which is a nuisance and an unfortunate by-product of the media there is also the problem of having to filter out the insightful, cruel and abusive comments.

Like road-rage, online anonymity can reduce a debate to cheap mudslinging where it can be difficult to find any meaningful comment.

Attaching an online survey to an article can help channel opinion and questions can be framed to elevate the debate.

For people who do not have to make difficult decisions it is often easy to pretend that we live in a black and white world, in reality we all live in a world where difficult decision making comes in many shades of grey.

Today's featured article considers how to extend commenting to further engage with the readers.
