Up to Date - 3/9/2010 Media Critics: News Website Comments | ||||||||||||||
|
Up to Date's Media Critics roundtable examines reader, viewer, and listener comments on news websites, and why they're stirring up trouble for news makers. Kansas City Star readers' representative Derek Donovan, KC Currents producer/host Sylvia Maria Gross, and University of Kansas School of Journalism associate professor Michael Williams talk about the case against the "angry commenter" and why some are calling for newspapers to stop allowing comments sections all together. We also examine the fate of statehouse reporters, and discuss if communities have stopped caring about news at the state level, and examine recent coverage of earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. Finally - our critics talk about their picks for most over- and under-covered stories in the last few months.
