"What percentage of readers' comments left on Guardian's Comment is Free do you think actually get read and responded to by other readers? Since most readers are writing without a sense of audience, do you think that most readers will lose interest after some time?"

David Leigh
answer: "I simply don't know the answer to this. Occasionally there's a vigorous response. You should really ask Georgina Henry, the editor of Comment is Free, not me."
Is this a good answer?

"It must be strange, almost confusing, looking back on the days when you were given a deadline or even the leeway to go off and research a story. Now, readers want interaction - the chance (like this site) to comment on everything a journalist does or says. Where do you and others like you fit into this picture? I already read the Guardian website but not the paper, unless for the jobs: I wonder how many out there are similar to me. And what this means for the journalistic profession."

" I still get the leeway to go and research stories. A lot of what you read on the Guardian's website is the product of heavy research. In some ways we can do more on the website than we can in the paper. See our site "The BAE Files" for example. It's opinion journalists who end up interacting all the time with other opinioators. I just try and tell people what's going on.What's to debate with me about that? "

"I read the article by Ms. Srikala Sane on the issue of Internet Vs Print Media. Its nice to heard about the number of pepole using Internet for Quick Acess to the news or events.Internet is becoming more popular and it automatically created a huge competition among the Print as well as electronic media. Everyone wants to present the news as early as possible. My question is that Is this competition among these medias violating the art of or in better words we can say, the Moral of Journalism?"
