Article evaluation

Communication audit

- Needs more links as to what a communication audit is/why they are important, etc.

- No importance scale

- "Start" article and part of the WikiProject Business

My article: Citzenfour

- The article has a good amount of information about the movie itself (the synopsis, awards, recognition for the film, etc). The security section of the article could be expanded by elaborating upon security methods used by Snowden and others in the film. A background section on Snowden could be added so that those who haven't watched the film and are unaware of him could learn more about who he is and his motivations for reaching out to Poitras and others. Another section could be added to explain how the conversation around privacy has changed since the film and what everyone is up to since the film.

Background on Snowden
Born on June 21, 1983 in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, Edward Snowden first became involved with the United States government upon his enrollment in the Army Reserves in the spring of 2004. Snowden claims to have left the program after a few months because he broke his legs in a training accident while a US House of Representatives report claims he had shin splints. He then began working for the CIA in 2006 and was stationed with diplomatic cover by agency in Geneva, Switzerland in 2007. After nearly three years with the agency, Snowden resigned his position in February 2009 in order to begin working for a contractor for the NSA. It was at this point in his career that Snowden could sense that his views were changing; "I watched as Obama advanced the very policies that I thought would be reigned in ... [The NSA] are intent on making every conversation and every form of behaviour in the world known to them". In 2012, Snowden was reassigned from his base in Japan to a base in Honolulu, Hawaii, working for a variety of different contractors before serving as a consultant to Booz Allen Hamilton.
