Currybet.net: Journalists in the comment box
November 17th, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Social media and blogging
What happens when journalists jump in the comment box? Martin Belam picks up on the way outed sex blogger Zoe Margolis responded to Guardian commenters’ criticism after her quick post on the unmasking of Belle du Jour.
Belam writes:
“What interested me here was that I think it illustrates something about the respective culture of ‘blogger’ versus ‘journalist who has comments enabled at the bottom of their articles’.”
As information architect for the Guardian, Belam has an interesting take on the technological aspect too.
