Which article are you evaluating?
Islamophobia in the media

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article as it relates to my personal interests in understanding the depths of racism and how it is spread today with the help of social media. How does this further damage minorities and potentially hurt them? It matters as it is personal to me as a muslim to be aware of the media's potential and also to spread awareness about the type of content we are seeing in our every day lives and how it is normalized. My preliminary impression of it is that I was interested in the structure. The way it was broken down, even by country (Europe, United States) showed attention to the details and intensity of the topic. It also lists the different issues or variations of Islamophobia on the right side with "islamic scarf controversy in France" or "Love Jihad" being a few. The article is well organized and easy to navigate through.

Evaluate the article
The article is effectively cited and includes information from other publishers in an effective way, for example, "...according to Nathan Lean", this shows an attention to detail in the article and giving credit where it is due. I found that the images are correctly cited however there is a lack of images, there is only 1, this could take away from the article a little bit however it does not completely hinder it. The article does not appear to have grammatical errors and the sentences and paragraphs are valuable and make sense to the reader. The sources that are cited are available for inspection and ensure safety in the content that is being published. Fox News is covered in the article, however, the article does not defend nor support Fox News, being an outside source, this tells me that they are not influenced by other opinions and also always me to believe that the article lacks bias towards any side.

Overall, I believe the article is reliable and discusses the topic adequately. The strengths of the article lie in the way the information is presented and the paraphrasing and citing of the outside sources that are being used, they add to the article and are necessary in understand the full scope of an event. The article is well developed and displays multiple perspectives and represents the facts as they are. Personally, this article is articulate and objectively reliable.
