Interacting with readers is important. But your comment sections are a troll-filled cesspool. What’s a publisher to do? Think more strategically, we say — and we can help you do it.

In this interactive session, leaders from The Coral Project and the Engaging News Project will give you tips on improving your interactive spaces — comments and beyond — based on the latest research. They’ll also solicit your questions and feedback, a dialogue that will help guide the Engaging News Project’s research and The Coral Project’s open-source software development.
