How CNN and The New York Times Moderate Comments
Many regard the comment sections on mainstream media sites as an example of some of the worst discourse on the web. But it is slowly getting better, with CNN and The New York Times leading the charge at the highest levels of the media.

These outlets moderate comments at a volume that few can fathom, in an environment that is highly charged, in a space where people expect to say what is on their mind. Their approaches are very different, and each has found their own path to success.
