The copy implies very strongly that comments can be a respected part of the article as a whole, and by implication - of journalism.
My experience in the past has been that comments are not taken seriously by the publisher, seemingly just added to tick the "social" checkbox. But to make a commitment to the dialogue an article can generate seems like a positive development for journalism.
- rtpg 7y agoThough comments are always hard, places like the NY Times have a lot of content in the comments section. Moderation helps a lot I imagine. And some of it is kinda trash, but they'd still be better replacements for Bret Stephen's 100th "Democrats should listen to me, a person who will never vote for a Dem, on what to do" article
