Remember when you were in high school and you didn’t particularly enjoy raising your hand to add input to a discussion?
I’m curious what it takes to get people to comment on a news story, and why they comment.
Anna Tarkov, a media savvy maven, wants comments sections to get a makeover and I must agree.
Most news sites use discussions boards just because and without real thought as to why or how to better utilize them. I’m not sure I have the answer but newsrooms should begin a dialogue about this issue.
So, what ideas do you have to offer?
