Article Evaluation
The article, Buenos Aires Herald, is based upon a newspaper based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The article discusses how the newspaper was started as well as the types of news that the paper reported about. As the article continues, it digresses onto the military dictatorship and the revolutions that helped form Argentina into the country that it is today. The Buenos Aires Herald was sold to multiple people, but eventually was discontinued due to the financial hardships it was facing. This specific article is not necessarily the most reliable, due to the fact that it wasn't edited recently. That being said, everything being discussed is backed up with references and links are placed throughout the article to credit the writer. The progression of all of the subheading were also not completely accurate, and the article lacked concision and clarity in that aspect.

Article Evaluation 2
The article, Celebrity Culture, pertains to the social media that celebrities use and focuses on different aspects of their lives on "a global scale". The article discusses how celebrities promote themselves and how it's changed from the past to now with the expansion of technology. The article is separated into multiple categories, making it easy for the reader to follow along and catch all of the key points. All of the categories are relevant, but only provide a small amount of information rather than going more in depth. Most small categories (like twitter and Instagram) only had one sentence descriptions, so I added more information to the Instagram feed to show its importance in marketing celebrities. All of the information was accurate, but not very much of it was cited in any way.

Three Sources

 * 1) Celebrity culture. I used this article for my second evaluation and it could really be expanded upon. I think it could use more updated information as well as a perspective from a teenager who uses the same social media platforms as many celebrities that weren't there before. I think that it needs to be moe credible as well and definitely updated with examples. By looking at the talk page you can see that people want more neutrality within the article that I could provide.  Talk:Celebrity culture
 * 2) Feminism and media. This article directly relates to my feminism and gender class and is a very interesting topic for me. Under the "talk" section, there are a lot of comments and questions about the different waves of feminism that I can clear up. I also think it could be expanded to show a larger scope of feminism, especially with the new movement becoming more apparent within todays's society.  Feminism and media
 * 3) Trust me, I'm Lying. This article's title really stood out to me, but the information is slightly unclear. It discusses different companies and what they've lied about as well as where the information came from. I would ass more photos and examples to get a more clear understanding about what the article is truly about. It has to do with a book that talks about media as well as "fake news" within the scope of media. Trust Me, I'm Lying

Celebrity Culture
For this article I'm going to add more sources and specific information. I also want to add a young perspective about social media and look at the bias within the article. In the talk section, many people said that the article had opinions and not enough solid information. The information needs to be updated as well.

Rough Draft
Celebrity culture is a constantly changing topic that grows as technology does. Different platforms are being implemented: Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook, all of which provide a new outlet for celebrities to express their thoughts. Twitter is constantly changing celebrity views and provides an unmonitored space for opinions to be shared. Instagram is also growing and continues to be a popular outlet for celebs to know what they get for different events and to post about other celebs they're with. Lastly, Facebook is still a common used platform that many celebrities use.

Tantrums: Most celebrities are knows for "throwing tantrums" to get their way. They're also known for getting in debates with their friends who are also celebrities in order to amp up the drama to let their names be seen. " Robert B. Millman 'coined the term Acquired Situational Narcissism to describe the destructive and outrageous behaviour of those who are constantly in the public eye." When an individual is in the public eye, it changes how they act and their behavior. Most times, publicity only goes to celebrities who are going against the social norm, doing something different. Sexism is seen quite a bit in this light. It depicts women as being more dramatic while men are much more level headed.

Posthumous fame is also mentioned, showing how celebrities are more appreciated after they're dead rather than during the span of their life. It happens with nearly any type of artist, especially when out comes to music. Many people try their entire life to gain fame that can only be achieved through someone passing away.

Rough draft revision:

Celebrity culture is a constantly changing topic that grows as technology does. Different platforms are being implemented: Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook, all of which provide a new outlet for celebrities to express their thoughts. Twitter is constantly changing celebrity views and provides an unmonitored space for opinions to be shared. It provides a platform for celebrities to re-share ideas and safely share theirs. It also allows for people to comment, making it engaging to fans and followers. Instagram is also growing and continues to be a popular outlet for celebrities, as it provides an outlet for purely pictures. Many of these pictures also include other people who are famous, boosting their image and reaching to different fan bases. Lastly, Facebook is still a common used platform that many celebrities use, especially older demographics. Many older generation prefer Facebook because it is easy to navigate and people can share and write posts that are of importance to them.

Tantrums: Most celebrities are knows for "throwing tantrums" to get their way. They're also known for getting in debates with their friends who are also celebrities in order to amp up the drama to let their names be seen. When an individual is in the public eye, it changes how they act and their behavior. Usually it brings people to act in extremes, whether that be extremely good or extremely bad. Most times, publicity only goes to celebrities who are going against the social norm, doing something different. People are more interested in reading about something crazy a celebrity did than them going out and have a respectful lunch. With this, however, sexism is becoming more apparent because it depicts women as being more dramatic while men are much more level headed.

Posthumous fame is also mentioned, showing how celebrities are more appreciated after they're dead rather than during the span of their life. It happens with nearly any type of artist, especially when it comes to music. Many people try their entire life to gain fame that can only be achieved through someone passing away.

Peer Review for Chloe on Celebrity Culture
Great additions, Chloe!

Some notes:
 * "Instagram is also... for celebs t o get to know what they get for different events ..." I think I know what you're trying to say, but the underlined part is a bit confusing and could use clarification
 * For the first paragraph, you speak to how celebrity culture is intertwined with social media but don't go into much depth. I would consider going into more detail for how each is different or relates to celeb culture specifically - - especially facebook because it has the least info
 * The quote in the second paragraph is confusing. There is no introduction to it (from what I can tell) and there is a miscellaneous apostrophe in front of "coined". Not sure if this was on purpose, but I think some cleaning up of that sentence could make the quote much more useful!
 * In the last section there is just a typo in the second line. You said "especially when out comes to music" -- I think you may have meant to say "it" instead of "out"
 * I would look into finding some more reliable sources to help strengthen your explanations, the ones now seem a bit weak at first glance
 * Great Job!

Thank you Michael! I am going to clarify with Instagram when talking about the different platforms! I am taking your social media comment into consideration and have decided to mainly just focus on Facebook, twitter and Instagram but go really in depth for those three. I will add an intro and find more sources to back up the ones I already chose.

Thanks so much for your feedback!! Cgelpieryn (talk) 17:37, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
