| Abstract | This study explores the set of practices that news journalists who are dealing with user-generated content moderation apply when assigned with the task of conducting content moderation on news forums online. It focuses on how aggressive user behavior occurring in comments sections plays a role in shaping such practices. The findings of the study indicate that journalists respond to hate speech by enacting certain practices which have evolved within a collective setting. However, the practices that the journalists enact are also the product of social arrangements in a shared information landscape. The practices that the studied news outlets apply when moderating comments sections manifest a balancing act between the ideal of maintaining an open discussion that enables free speech and democracy and attracting readers and reaching a wider audience with their articles. |
