"Comments left by readers contain useful insights - and they
help me understand what really matters to people. That is not
to say that I give them only what they want ... Sharing
information - some of it hugely important, some of it less so -
with a big and interested audience delivers [ownership] and
creates that committed community."

35. Online: BirminghamRiots2011
On Monday evening the site published an image of a rioter
kicking a policeman – said to have been taken in Birmingham
that night. Within an hour it had already been correctly
identified as being taken in London in March. The next day,
however, the same image was incorrectly captioned on the
front page of the Birmingham Mail and the centre spread of
The Guardian, along with many other newspapers.

If something is available in the
