There has been a fair amount of coverage of online publications ending their reader comments sections. Most notably, Popular Science closed reader comments in 2013 for fear that reader comments could influence public perceptions about science. (I will start a list, just to keep track.)
But I am also seeing a fair number of stories about positive aspects of online comments. The reader representative for the San Diego Union-Tribune wrote recently about some of the benefits of online comments. In particular, he talks about online comments as a means to correct early versions of breaking news posted online.
