(Provide a link to the article here.) Netflix

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I choose this article to evaluate because I wanted to understand more about the companies culture and if they have any negative impacts on the environment. Netflix started to produce its own content in 2013, hence their emissions of CO2 into the environment has increased since then.

The lead section is really concise and straight to the point, we can clearly identify the companies objective and the service it provides. This paragraph also offers some key statics about the company so the reader can understand the dimension of the company itself (number of subscribers, ranking in the fortune 500, etc). The lead section also briefly mentions the history of the company, which helps to entice the reader on continuing reading its history later on in the article with more detail. Overall, the lead is detailed and points out the key facts about the company.

The content is relevant to the to the topic. The article is divided in to History, content of the platform, technology corporate affairs and awards. The information in each of these sub sections are really detailed and concise, the reader is easily able to extract information of the article. I believe that the content is up to date.

The article relies on a variety of sources, including news articles, industry reports, and interviews with Netflix executives. The sources are cited throughout the article, and the information provided is largely verifiable.

The article is very concise and detail, every information found in the article is relevant for the company. Each section is broken down with sub titles including the dates of the occurrences and there are graphs to help understand the progress of the company over the years. The images in the article are correctly used. However, I would include more photos with the tv shows that Netflix has to offer.

overall, this article is really well written and it helps the reader to easily understand the message netflix wants give out to its customers. However, under environmental impacts there is only one small paragraph mentioning their contributions to the environment. So, my recommendation would to talk in greater depth and enrich this part of the article.
