NPR Ombudsman's Post About the End of NPR's Comments Section Got 3,400 Comments

And that's not counting email and social media comments.

When we first wrote on Aug. 17 about NPR’s decision to do away with its comments section, the comment count on NPR ombudsman/public editor Elizabeth Jensen‘s post about the decision was at 162.

If you look at that post now, it’s at none, because as of yesterday, Disqus, the platform that housed the comments, was removed, and all the comments went with it.

In between those two points in time, Jensen’s post amassed 3,400 comments opining on the end of opining within NPR posts.
