Option 1

 * Article title
 * Northern Ireland Young Communist League
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article lacks much substance to the points stated and needs to be expanded on. Adding organization such as an intro, body paragraphs, and conclusion would be very beneficial. In-text citations must be added to create credibility for the article as well as additional sources to commemorate the facts and knowledge in the article. Adding background on youth communist leagues all across the world would build a strong foundation to then introduce the sub-topic of the Northern Ireland Young Communist League. I would add information on the origin of the foundation and how it came to be as while as who founded it. I would also add images such as the logo or the founder to expand upon the content in the article.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Political satire
 * Article Evaluation
 * The introduction is written nicely as it sets up the articles organization and creates a hook for the reader to want to continue reading. I think introducing the countries talked about in the article would be beneficial in stating where political satire appears right off the bat. The origin section explains the history of political satire well although the examples of past actors in political satire need to be expanded upon as their actual uses are not explained and it appears as name dropping. While some countries have lengthy sections of examples of political satire such as the US and the UK, others have examples which are barely expanded upon like Germany and France. The article then states that political satire can be seen in street art but no elaboration added. I would elaborate on the countries lacking explanations and street art while also providing images and examples for visualization. The Middle East is only briefly mentioned as an example which leads to a more biased and Western lense on which the article takes place. I would research political satire in non-western countries to stray away from this biased tone.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Social Media and Political Communication in the United States
 * Article Evaluation
 * Overall, I found the article very interesting and for the most part unbiased. The introduction does a good job in stating the topic and the main examples behind it. Both how social media is used in a bad and a good way are described which minimizes any bias in the article. Including multiple elections, campaigns, and political actors created a diverse selection of how social media impacts political communication. The campaigns and actors came from both the democratic and republican political parties to eliminate a political bias when constructing the article which is very important. I believe the 2020 election could have been expanded upon by talking about how new social media platforms have impacted political communication. I think including aspects of the actors social media posts would be beneficial as it would expand upon the points made. The biggest change I would recommend would be to delete the sentences stating that social media fundamentally changed political communication as that adds a biased tone to the article.
