So I'm browing through the New York Times online, when I come across a forum that asks readers to comment on how much they think professors influence the political beliefs of their students. Because according to studies professors rarely do.
Some agreed; others did not. But regardless of how people responded, I thought it was an interesting topic to open up for discussion a day before Election Day. Especially since experts have repeatedly said young voters might determine who is America's next president.
Reader comments are a unique feature of online journalism. They allow for news to become much more interactive. This is a good thing, as it raises the awareness of the community.

Interesting that the comments were all on their own page... and you had to click to get back to the article. You called it a 'forum' and readers often call these comments 'a blog'. The vocabulary is still being agreed upon...
