Reader's editor and online communities

Interesting think piece by Jay Rosen about how, as readers start to identify newspapers' online presences as being the newspaper, and meanwhile those newspapers try to foster online communities and encourage readers to provide more feedback to articles online, the role of the "reader's editor"/"public editor"/"ombudsman" should perhaps be rethought. Rosen suggests that the reader's editor should run a weblog that points to articles and collates comment (including his own) on those articles.
