Evaluate the article
The lead has a clear and concise introduction to the topic of digital rhetoric. The lead includes a brief description of the articles sections. The lead doesn't include information that is not present in the rest of the article and it does a nice job of introducing the information in thorough yet basic manner. The actual content of the article does a nice job of including relevant material from both modern day and important foundational historical concepts. In addition, the article properly addresses equity gaps by the mention of unequal access to social media for marginalized groups. This article is fairly balanced in it's tone and style. There is no centralized attempt to persuade a reader in one particular direction. Furthermore there is mention of traditionally underrepresented viewpoints. However, I think more of an effort could be made to flush out ideas in the technofeminism section and cyberbullying section. The vast majority of the sources used are very solid peer reviewed and current sources that reflect accurate information on the topic. With that said, there are a select few links that do not link to the correct page. The article is very well written and does a really great job of explaining different rhetorical principles in a clear, accurate, and easy to understand manner. The organization is logical for the most part. Starting off with the definition is always a good idea, but I might consider moving the social media, education, and politics sections. One area of improvement that I definitely see for this article are its utilization of images. While it does include images, two of them are too small and dense to be understood quickly and at a glance by the average reader. Overall, I think that this article is really well developed and thought out. There are some areas for improvement, but I think that this article has really solid bones and the majority of it is nicely done.
