Option 3

 * Article title
 * Social Media use by Barack Obama


 * Article Evaluation
 * The sources in this article are from around a decade ago and therefore some information might need to be updated. The sources do seem to be reliable as much of it comes from a published book. I noticed that it includes many references and they all seem to be reliable but I do notice some websites that don't seem that way. This article is written neutrally it only goes on to explains the details of Barack Obamas social media usage and doesn't take any stances. The article is cited thoroughly. This information is relative because it talks about a huge turning point for political communication(using social media) from which Obama was the catalyst.

 * "How Social Media Is Shaping Political Campaigns". Knowledge at Wharton. Retrieved 2023-02-06. This would be an important factor to add into the article because it considers how candidates can receive attentions through social media. Importantly the article mentions how Obama was the first in using social media for communication.   2. Yeung, Douglas (2018-03-19). "Social Media as a Catalyst for Policy Action and Social Change for Health and Well-Being: Viewpoint"  This article could be used as a great example in order to mention how social media can influence policy. We could use the examples in the articles of how they gather data about health and well-being and how that can be applied to policy changes. It can be a continuation of the sectioning which the articles talks about how Obama used his account to advocate for the national debt.  3. "Social Media in Government: Impact on Social Perception". Ohio University. 2020-10-22. Retrieved 2023-02-06.  This websites talks about the benefits that governments can have by utilizing social media in order to connect with the population. This can be useful way to elaborate more on Obama's interaction with the population in his Twitter account. It can also be used to explain more about the benefits.
