It would be interesting if they'd expand on why they want to create these 'spaces'. There are two things I want from a news organisation:
1. Accurate and insightful news, even if it's a bit later than the BBC
2. A channel to make corrections to the published articles by those with first-hand or expert knowledge.
I don't want to 'engage' any more than I engage with my ISP or electricity company. Just give me a good, reliable product and a way to let you know when you're not delivering that.
From my experience, comments pointing-out corrections don't feed back into the article ( the editors and journalists are busy working on the next story ) so it ends-up like Usenet with people arguing at each other and the story sitting like an immutable monolith at the top of the page. What does the Guardian gain from this? More ad views?
