Lead
There wasn’t a lead so: Great addition… the addition of the Lead section helps align Mediatization with Wikipedia format.

I feel a note about the term medialization –“Not to be confused with Medialization (Laryngoplasty, vocal fold surgery).” I google searched: What is Medialization?, and medical surgery articles would come up along with links back to Mediatization.

Content
I understand the hard work involved to check and add to a large article like Mediatization. Additions are in line with the topic and are in line with our field of communications.

The addition of the Introduction section helps expand the Lead… the large topic needs a bit more explanation that the Lead cannot cover.

It is interesting that an agreed-on term for Mediatization is still a topic of debate.

One note- of Sentence structure: “…that experts still need to fully vetted is revealed to the media; however, communicative leaders such as scientists….”  Mediatization of ignorance section.

Tone and Balance
The tone feels neutral and balanced. The topic of Mediatization as a whole is a criticism of how mass media is an influence, so the research is often critical of the idea, but the article is well referenced and cited to offer a balanced view.

Sources and References
There are many, many existing references, and I see the work done to uncover new and current, 2021, 2022, 2023, references to update and expand the article.

Organization
The re-structured article helps to clarify and streamline reading of the topic. The organization gives the reader a clear roadmap to follow and learn of the topic.

Images and Media
Additions of images, especially of the people (faces) important to the topic of Mediatization are a great way to hold interest in the fast-paced smartphone era. Marshall McLuhan is a important image to include.

Overall impressions
Thank you for the contributions and updating of the Mediatization article. Mediatization is a large part of our studies in the Comm MA program, and it is such a powerful force in every aspect of our lives.

Great job on tackling an interesting but daunting topic, to cover in a few weeks. Additions of a lead section, organization of the layout, finding current references and adding to an already filled out article helps me understand how we are influenced by media every day. T
