尽管人们对在线新闻的用户评论的社会、政治和新闻相关性进行了深入的讨论，但没有研究试图检验为什么某些在线新闻讨论比其他讨论更具互动性。基于新闻价值理论的基本原理，本研究认为，用户评论中所谓的讨论因素表明与后来用户对其做出回应的一般相关性。对在线评论新闻报道的用户进行的定性访谈以及对 1,580 条用户评论的定量内容分析表明，讨论因素的不确定性、争议性、可理解性、消极性和个性化可以解释新闻讨论中的交互性。此外，评论功能的不同技术实现似乎对这些讨论因素的效果影响有限。
While the social, political, and journalistic relevance of user comments on online news items has been discussed intensively, no study has tried to examine why some online news discussions are more interactive than others. Based on the rationale of news value theory, this study argues that so-called discussion factors in user comments indicate general relevance to later users to respond to them. Qualitative interviews with users who comment on news stories online and a quantitative content analysis of 1,580 user comments showed that the discussion factors uncertainty, controversy, comprehensibility, negativity, and personalization can explain interactivity in news discussions. Further, different technological implementations of the comment function seem to have a limited influence on the effects of these discussion factors.
