A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the need for journalists and bloggers to be active participants on their own comment boards.

If you were going to create the ideal set of rules for a newspaper comment board, something that your readers — hopefully — would abide by, what would you include? We’re talking about story-level comments, blog comments and forum remarks.

Also:

How would you enforce the rules?
Where would you post them?

It’s Thanksgiving week, and we thought it would be fun to start it off with a little poll. It asks a relatively simple question, but one that is of huge importance to those in the media:

Just where are people getting the majority of their local news?

We realize that most of us are getting our national news from Jon Stewart, so all this poll is concerned with is local news. :)

We’ll come back tomorrow with a blog entry about the results.
