Journalism, Online Comments, and the Future of Public Discourse
Comments on digital news stories and on social media play an increasingly important role in public discourse as more citizens communicate through online networks. The reasons for eliminating comments on news stories are plentiful. Off-topic posts and toxic commentary have been shown to undermine legitimate news reporting. Yet the proliferation of digital communication technology has revolutionized the setting for democratic participation. The digital exchange of ideas and opinions is now a vital component of the democratic landscape. Marie K. Shanahan's book argues that public digital discourse is crucial component of modern democracy—one that journalists must stop treating with indifference or detachment—and for news organizations to use journalistic rigor and better design to add value to citizens’ comments above the social layer. Through original interviews, anecdotes, field observations and summaries of research literature, Shanahan explains the obstacles of digital discourse as well as its promises for journalists in the digital age.
User Comments and Moderation in Digital Journalism
This book is an authoritative discussion of user comments and moderation in digital journalism, examining how user comments have disrupted the field of journalism and how a growing number of news organizations have abandoned commenting features altogether. Making a broad argument concerning user commentary as a manifestation of user engagement and public deliberation, User Comments and Moderation in Digital Journalism: Disruptive Engagement conceptualizes the act of commenting as interactive engagement and participation in a virtual public sphere. The book also explores the organizational policies that have the potential to disrupt – as well as improve – the quality of user discussions. Ultimately, strategies are proposed for managing and improving user comments and encouraging more productive public deliberation in digital journalism. This engaging discussion of a key development in digital journalism is a valuable resource for academics and researchers in the areas of journalism, media and communication studies.

Online discussions in the form of readers' comments are a central part of many news sites and social media platforms. In this book, Tamara Kunic explores and interprets the ways in which digital technology has changed culture, media, and society. Kunic analyzes the impact of the Internet and convergence not only on the acquisition of new skills, but also on changes in the production and dissemination of content itself and the need to adapt to new times and the demands of a new audience—the active prosumer. With a comprehensive approach to the issue of participation in the media, Kunic examines the development of news sites and participatory journalism in Croatia from the perspective of editors and from the content of readers' comments. Scholars of journalism, communication, media studies, sociology, politics, and cultural studies will find this book of particular interest.
