Evaluate the article
This article on fake news is detailed and well-sourced, with 429 references in the work cited section. It provides a world view of fake news, not just one of the United States. However, there are gaps in the content of this article where it could be improved. There is no information on fake news in 2020 and 2021. This represents a significant shortcoming with key topics like fake news and COVID-19, as well as fake news and vaccines. In the past two years, there also has been a significant amount of development with fake news and social media platforms -- specifically Facebook. This article would benefit from having new information added to it in order to build on its already impressive baseline of information.

Happy to see you improve this article to address these important content gaps! --Renee Hobbs
