I think that online discussion forums are really interesting to read, but I have to admit that I only look at the ones done by columnists I like. I love reading what Jeffrey Simpson has to say about Canadian politics so I always make sure I catch those. I think the Washington Post's best online columnist is their White House specialist, Dan Froomkin. I would like to see more newspapers and news stations do this as I'm sure readers/viewers would be interested.

I like the online boards, but I prefer web-only content from mainstream outlets. They often give you something more than the print version as they aren't restricted by space. There are also a number of bloggers who double as quasi-news sources, at least in my opinion.

In response to Favourite online columnist posted by broadfather:
There certainly are a lot of online bloggers now that discuss the news- both on mainstream news websites as well, of course, on private sites. In terms of bloggers on mainstream sites, I think that these provide interesting coverage and some 'out there' ideas. Often big sporting or political events are blogged by certain columnists from major newspapers so the reader can feel like they are getting live commentary.

Did anyone read the Wiccan online discussion on Tuesday? Good guest columnist, relevant topic matter (October 31 is the perfect time to talk to a witch!), and interesting questions. Worth a look even if you're not a regular reader of online discussion forums.
