Strategic communication

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article was chosen due to it being a Start Class level (S) relating to the topic of strategic communication. This matters because the article is not yet a valuable source of information due to it being a preliminary article with much room for improvement. My initial impression of the article was that is seemed to be short and seemed slightly written in a unprofessional manner. There are many minor things that can be fixed in order to utilize the article's full potential.
