Could this maybe be used when publishing content on third party sites to ping your own website?

Q: So, this means you don’t value hearing from readers?A: Not at all. We engage with readers every day, and we are constantly looking for ways to hear and share the diversity of voices across New Jersey. We have built strong communities on social platforms, and readers inform our journalism daily through letters to the editor. We encourage readers to reach out to us, and our contact information is available on this How To Reach Us page.
We have built strong communities on social platforms
They have? Really?! I think it's more likely the social platforms have built strong communities which happen to be talking about and sharing the papers content. The paper doesn't have any content moderation or control capabilities on any of these platforms.
Now it may be the case that there are a broader diversity of voices on those platforms over their own comments sections. This means that a small proportion of potential trolls won't drown out the signal over the noise as may happen in their comments sections online.
If the paper is really listening on the other platforms, how are they doing it? Isn't reading some or all of it a large portion of content moderation? How do they get notifications of people mentioning them (is it only direct @mentions)?
Couldn't/wouldn't an IndieWeb version of this help them or work better.

“Media companies were investing a huge amount of time, money, and effort in building out these huge audiences on social media…but at the end of the day, they’re renting those audiences from social media [companies], as opposed to owning those relationships,” Donoghue said.
Media companies are spending huge amounts of time investing in social media, but they're also simultaneously renting their audiences back.
Who rents a $350/month apartment and then spends $5,000 a month sprucing it up?

They should see comments as part of that process. It’s not the product that matters, it’s the participation.
Of course, reading this a decade+ along after the boom of social media, we'll now realize that it's even more than the participation. Part of it should also be where that participation occurs.

Golwg360 will feature a rolling news service and will give businesses, public bodies and individuals the chance to set up their own micro-sites.
This sounds a bit like the model that Greg McVerry and I have proposed for IndieWeb crossing with public libraries, and newspapers/journalism.

However, a healthy news ecosystem doesn’t just require a thriving free press, it also needs a diversity of curators, newsletters and content discovery options that enable the weird and wonderful to surface. We want to use Nuzzel as a test kitchen to see what models works for curators as well as content creators. The simple goal is a sustainable open web where the goals of creators, curators and consumers are aligned around the best possible experience.
This sounds exciting to me and could dovetail with efforts of many with respect to IndieWeb for Journalism.

Republishing guidelines
There was some conversation earlier today in the IndieWeb chat about comment policies, but this page presents an interesting case of repost policies.
Is anyone doing this on their personal websites?

I just wrote a long, considered, friendly, and I hope helpful comment here but -- sorry, I have to see the irony in this once again -- your system wouldn't let me say anything longer tahn 1,500 characters. If you want more intelligent conversations, you might want to expand past soundbite.
In 2008, even before Twitter had become a thing at 180 characters, here's a great reason that people should be posting their commentary on their own blogs.
This example from 2008 is particularly rich as you'll find examples on this page of Derek Powazek and Jeff Jarvis posting comments with links to much richer content and commentary on their own websites.
We're a decade+ on and we still haven't managed to improve on this problem. In fact, we may have actually made it worse.
I'd love to see On the Media revisit this idea. (Of course their site doesn't have comments at all anymore either.)

But note well, my friend, that all of these people are speaking to you with intelligence, experience, generosity, and civility. You know what’s missing? Two things: First, the sort of nasty comments your own piece decries. And second: You.
Important!

The first is when you build businesses on platforms your don’t own; and then they change the rules on you.
Here's a great example why Newspapers should embrace an IndieWeb perspective.

It just makes sense that news outlets and libraries collaborate. That’s something we at the News Co/Lab have believed from the beginning, and it’s something we’ve seen work very well in our partnerships
Perhaps this is a good incubator for the idea Greg McVerry and I have been contemplating in which these institutions help to provide some of the help and infrastructure for the future of IndieWeb.

In the meantime, stay in touch with Crosscut by: Liking us on Facebook Following us on Twitter Following us on Instagram Chatting with us on Reddit Signing up for one (or all) of our newsletters
It seems like they've chose a solution for their community that boils down to pushing the problem(s) off onto large corporations that have shown no serious efforts at moderation either?
Sweeping the problem under the rug doesn't seem like a good long term answer. Without aggregating their community's responses, are they really serving their readers? How is the community to know what it looks like? Where is it reflected?
I wonder what a moderated IndieWeb solution for them might look like?
