Option 1

 * Article title
 * Blonde Cobra


 * Article evaluation: This article includes necessary information about the short film, and it is written concisely. It does a good job at summarizing the film and the general reception to the public. I think that the article would benefit from including the following headings: summary, background, critical reception, and controversy. This would break up the content and allow readers to easily comprehend it.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Censorship of Facebook


 * Article evaluation
 * This article includes a concise summary of the topic in the lead paragraph, and provides a description of censorship of Facebook in many countries. In several of the countries descriptions, there is a link to the main article that discusses the country in more detail. I think that this is helpful as this article provides a short summary of what censorship is occurring, but more detail can be found at the more specific article. The references used are balanced and show different perspectives. For example, one source used is ABC News, while Fox News is also used, with each platform having their own political agenda.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Microsoft family features


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead paragraph of this article is not written very efficiently. The first sentence includes unnecessary information, and the rest of the paragraph focuses on how these features can be implemented, rather than what these features are. The subheadings within this article are helpful in understanding the content. The features are listed in a well organized manner that is easy to comprehend.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Change.org


 * Article Evaluation
 * The lead paragraph of this article summarizes the information well, but the first sentence is longer than necessary. It is a run-on sentence and does not need to include the number of users that the site has. The content is balances as it includes criticisms of the website, and several sections are within this. The headings used are well organized. The sources that I viewed were credible and supported the claims made in the article.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Echo chamber (media)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article covers every necessary aspect of echo chambers. There is minimal repetition as all of the headings are distinct and provide new but relevant information. Many of the sources seem to be from over 10 years ago, which makes sense as this concept has existed for a while. However, with the resurgence of this term in recent years I think that it would be helpful to include more recent sources. Overall the tone of the article is balanced and it is written in an organized and concise way.
