Word clouds on 7 story comment guidelines
I “acquired” this idea from TechCrunch, which tossed up word clouds from the terms of service on a variety of sites following the flap over Facebook’s recent policy change and reversal.
A couple of weeks ago, I highlighted reader commenting guidelines that I thought were worth looking at from several news sites. Thanks for the idea, TechCrunch. Here’s Wordle word clouds from those sites. They actually do show a different focus. For example, I was struck by USA Today’s emphasis on “community.” And the Washington Post’s reflects a much more legalistic approach.
Eric Zorn’s guidelines from his Chicago Tribune blog.
AZStarNet’s commenting guidelines.
LJWorld.com’s story commenting guidelines.
Miami Herald’s commenting guidelines, included in its terms of service.
WashingtonPost.com commenting guidelines.
USA Today’s commenting guidelines.
STLtoday.com (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) commenting guidelines.
