Option 4

 * Article title
 * Media studies


 * Article Evaluation
 * This lead of this article is very small and lacks a lot of detail as well as information. This article is not well organized. I believe that the use of more relevant topics would greatly improve it. This article is not fully neutral as there seem to be viewpoints that are either overrepresented or underrepresented. Many of the sources are unverified and many paragraphs have a shortage of citations. This article is not well organized and can be improved grammatically. This article needs a lot of improvement but with better sources, citations and organization, it can become a higher classed article.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Mediatization (media)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a lot of information but it's not very well organized. The lead is well written but it can be more compact and concise. The content is connected to the topic but more information can be added. The tone is not neutralized as some claims are bias with regards to a certain position. At some points in the article, some citations may be needed. Some sources are also not relevant to the topic. There are no images in the article. In all, this article has a lot of room for improvement.
