I understand that there are some journalists checking out this blog.
A query: Has your concern about inappropriate online comments ever influenced the way that you wrote, or whether you wrote a story that was going to be posted online?
I can easily imagine wanted to protect my sources or potential subjects of an article from unnecessary abuse.
Feel free to post anonymously (everyone else does).
This is a blog to highlight and discuss offensive, irresponsible, and inappropriate comments on NOLA.com's Times Picayune website. The blog is not an exhaustive daily monitor of offensive content on NOLA.com but instead the few comments posted and discussed here are exemplary of thousands of similar comments posted on the website.
Incidentally, have you read this?
