Option 1

 * Political journalism
 * Relevant to class because it discusses a facet of media directly associated with politics and political communication.
 * Introduction: The introductory paragraph is informative and well-organized.
 * Content: The page is missing a history section and a section addressing political journalism in non-democratic countries. Additionally, the article could benefit from more examples and context, especially historical context. The article could address laws and Supreme Court cases relevant to political journalism. Beyond the U.S., it should discuss issues and laws regarding political journalism in other countries, both democratic and non-democratic. Under the "subsets" section, it only lists two including election journalism and military journalism. This list could be expanded to include ideological journalism, legal journalism, sports journalism, and religious journalism. All of these categories have a political element.
 * References: In general, the sources for this page need to be updated (and the information). Most of the sources are from 2005, 2011, or 2012. While these are not ancient by any means, they are outdated because political landscapes and media change frequently. :

Option 2

 * Media democracy
 * Relevant to class because it discusses an important media theory that pertains to the quality of and access to media.
 * Introduction: Contains relevant information, well-organized, descriptive.
 * Content: The content is expansive, but the writing has been flagged for being personal and argumentative.
 * References: Need to be reviewed for validity, flagged for original research.

Option 3
'''Ward. (2014). Radical media ethics: responding to a revolution. Nordicom Review, 35(SI), S45–52.'''
 * Radical Media
 * Relevant to class because it discusses a portion of political communication that is currently on the rise in the United States due to polarization.
 * Introduction: Well-organized and informative.
 * Content: The content is good, but needs expansion and detail. For example, social media and protesting should be added to modes. Additionally, the "graphics and visual rhetoric" section needs more detail. The article also needs a history section.
 * References: Need updating. No sources more recent than 2015. :
