Option 1

 * Overview of 21st-century propaganda:
 * Article Evaluation
 * Article focuses heavily on war time propaganda. The introduction paragraph does not make it clear that the focus will be broad and on many different countries types of propaganda. The article could stand to be narrowed down to focus on two or three countries to establish a relationship between propaganda and war politics. The original editor also seems to point directly to the faults of programada and the piece is written to a biased standpoint rather than a more neutral stance. :

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Social media in the 2020 United States presidential election
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's abstract could really use some cutting down. It does not easily lay out a direct claim or statement, it is muddled down by essentially a long detailed summary of what is to come in the article. More information about Facebook as a media could be incorporated, as that platform is very large for specific generations. The article is also set up as though it will only focus on Biden and Trump but then other sections are focused on smaller democratic affiliates. Article could use a reframing to either focus on the Republican and Democratic party or 2 of the frontrunners for each party.

Option 3
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-48631-4
 * Article title
 * Political communication
 * Article Evaluation
 * Page overall could use some polishing. Some sections are redundant. Political Communication in Africa and Latin America sections could be expanded on, they appear as afterthoughts. It is interesting that under the Roles of Social Media section, only Australia is mentioned as having relevance but Australia is not discussed anywhere else in the article. Some areas need to be edited to have a more neutral tone.
