Which article are you evaluating?
Radio homogenization

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because one of the topics we have discussed in class is how media has been shrunk and bought out by bigger news media companies resulting in a concentration of media ownership and a lack of diverse local media and in this case, local radio. This matters because people, like wikipedia, need multiple unbiased sources to build an independent opinion. If more and more news sources actually link back to the same owner then their will be bias. less local radio impacts local advertisers and employees as well. My impression is that the article is diversely covered and well linked to other wiki articles and well cited, but in need of some updating as red broken links are frequent.

Lead Section
The first sentence gives a quick definition of radio homogenization, but there is no source for this account. There also needs to be a brief description of the other headings.
