Brisbane Times, The Age (Melbourne), and the Sydney Morning Herald publish matching messages encouraging readers to participate in their online comments sections. Each outlet frames the comments area as part of the broader debate around the news, describing participation as a way for “progress” to be made. The articles do not outline any specific rules, enforcement actions, or moderation procedures in the provided text. Instead, they present a general invitation for readers to join the conversation following their coverage. While the wording is effectively identical across the three sites, the messages are presented as guidance to readers on how to engage, focusing on the value of discussion rather than particular policy details. Overall, the sources agree that the outlets want audiences to contribute to public discussion through comments, but the available excerpts do not specify what conduct is required beyond the encouragement to participate.
