Option 1

 * Media Transparency
 * I really like that this article is very concise and simple with defining what media transparency is. It avoids being too wordy in the introduction to clearly state the purpose of the article. It also remains unbiased and neutrally represents the topic well. I believe that the article cites all of its claims and backs its information with sources! Overall, the article is an interesting and insightful piece to read that is easy to understand!
 * Sources: (Taylor & Francis)
 * 1- Transparency and Other Journalistic Norms on Twitter
 * 2- Transparency, accountability and good governance: Role of new information and communication technologies and the mass media

Option 2

 * Media (communication)
 * I think the article in the beginning lacks a certain "ease" of reading by presenting a lot of facts at once. It is easier to read in the sectioned paragraphs which then intrigued me to engage with the article. The article remains neutral while still presenting relevant information about licensing and government regulations. It also has a ton of citation throughout that shows the sources of the information. I like that it speaks about mass communication at the regional and international level as well.
 * Sources (Taylor & Francis- Medias of Communication)
 * 1- Journalism as Multichannel Communication
 * 2- The social image of drinking – mass media campaigns may inadvertently increase binge drinking
 * 3- The (un)intended consequences of crisis communication in news media: a critical analysis

Option 3

 * Advertising campaign
 * I like that this article presents imagery to show the reader an example of what an advertising campaign might look like to bring familiarity to the topic. I think this article remains neutral and provides a necessary background to the topic. It reads very easily to me and presents information in an organized manner. Citations are used to provide validity to the text as well. I think this is my favorite article out of the three.
