Article: Music of New Orleans

1. Is everything in the article relevant to the article topics? Is there anything that distracted you?

Everything about the article is relevant to the topic except for one particular section that stuck out. There is a section dedicated to “Heavy Metal”. After reviewing this section, there is not much about it that reflects on or amplifies the topic. The section mainly talks about bands and musicians from New Orleans that participate in this genre of music. This section could be elaborated on by giving information on how this genre exploded in New Orleans and where its roots originated from.

2. Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

The article displays a neutral viewpoint in every way. There is nothing that shows or displays any particular bias about the subject matter.

3. Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

The only viewpoints that may need a little more information are the sections for “Background” and “Heavy Metal”. These sections could use some more context and background information. All of the other sections are fine.

4. Check the citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?

The citations are fine and the links work when clicked. All of the sources appear to check out fine and support the article’s claims.

5. Is each fact supported by an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

All the sources appear to be reliable, however, there was one source that I noted came from 60 Minutes (citation 25). This is a news source and can have a tendency to be biased. However, the statement made for this citation seems unbiased and matter of fact.

6. Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that should be added?

The information for the article appears all up to date. The biggest information that should be added is origins of “Heavy Metal” in New Orleans and more context in the “Background”.
