Evaluate the article
This article's introduction sentence seems vague. Surely there are more applicable throngs in health communication. The lead section does contain information that is present within the article. The content is about ten years old and could use some updating. I do think the content is relevant to the article's topic. This article is not neutral. It clearly has been influenced by the values of the author and conveys bias. The article does seem to persuade the reader to agree with the author's point of view. Many of the facts within the article are cited, although there are many instances where facts are not cited. The sources are credible, but could use some recent findings to update the article. All the citation links are functioning properly. There is at least one spelling error and this article definitely reads like a student term paper, as the page tells us. There is one image within the article, but it does not enhance the article nor is it situated in an appealing way. According to the article's Talk Page, it is within the scope of two WikiProjects; WikiProject Medicine and WikiProject Media. The Talk Page lets us know this was an educational assignment and that Wikipedia needs our help making it more neutral and needs better sources, because it is a health related article. Overall, there are many opportunities to improve this article by finding better sources, improving the flow of the article, making the article easier to read in layman's terms, and a less biased writing style.
