What has changed in the last year is that major media companies are no longer
arguing over whether they should have comments under stories or blogs; instead,
the debate is about how they should moderate them and even highlight the best
ones in eye-catching editorial spaces. Many sites are embracing the concept of
“news as a conversation,” and trying to create active conversations among
reporters, editors and readers online. The New York Times released a more robust
commenting function recently, where readers can recommend each other’s comments,
and there are “Editor’s Selections” for the best comments in a thread. And last
weekend BusinessWeek.com started highlighting one commenter per day on its home
page, with a photo of the commenter.

While Byrne doesn’t mind anonymous comments on the site, he wants to make sure
that good commenters are rewarded by having their picture placed prominently on
the site — making them as prominent as the authors or subjects of stories.

One of the big arguments in the debate over moderating online comments is that
if you start to edit people’s comments before publishing them, you open yourself
up to liability in defamation cases. It turns out that’s not actually true.

One of the biggest challenges with moderating comments is figuring out which
