The culture of online commentary is still in its infancy

Problems with user-friendliness continue to prevent the emergence of a lively online comment culture in Switzerland. This was the result of a study commissioned by Netzwoche and carried out by Zeix partner Peter Hogenkamp. The results show that concrete implementation is still in its infancy, as Netzwoche reported on Wednesday. Only NZZ Online now allows commenting on every article. However, there can be no talk of any productive handling of the content obtained in this way. Perhaps this is also due to the unchanged attitude in the media business towards non-journalistically produced content, according to Netzwoche. Another problem is that young people in particular seem to have no desire to comment on political issues online.
