Free Republic has been doing exactly this for ten years. Post a story, post a comment, wait for responses. Naturally, not all responses will be literary masterpieces, but the interest is in discussion, not flowery prose.
The MSM is, as always, a decade behind.

At least “blogged” comments to articles prevents the liberal editors from editing the content of those readers’ “leeter” or even making up sentences to completely alter the intent or position of the letter writer.
It used to be standard practice for decades at newspapers and periodicals.
