Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Media Bias in the United States (C class)
 * Although the article provides significant information detailing the history of media in the United States, there is no information as of recent dates. The history timeline stops at 2014. The article also does not delve deep enough into the bias that surrounds the media, preferably highlighting on the bias in the US versus other countries with media limitations. I selected this article because there is clearly room for improvement and I would love to build upon this topic specifically because I major in Journalism and understand the bias that comes along with the field, especially in media specifically.

Option 2

 * Political Journalism (Start class)
 * This article has room for improvement in that it can or rather should, incorporate different aspects of political journalism. This should include comparisons to other governmental policies regarding journalism in other countries and comparing it to that of the United States. I am interested in this because I took a class on political journalism and obtained critical knowledge on the policies regarding journalism.

Option 3

 * Yellow Journalism (B class)
 * This article has less room for improvement than the other two I have chosen, however there are a couple of points this article can harp on in further detail. This article lists for example, 5 characteristics that identify yellow journalism but it never establishes how and why they are so important. Incorporating why these characteristics will help one learn about yellow journalism and why it has helped in milestones across history.
