Option 1
Net idol


 * Article title
 * Net idol


 * Article Evaluation
 * While the article was written with a neutral tone, it lacked in depth information on the topic. There was probably only 6 lines of information and one of the reference links would not open. It did provide a neutral and straight forward definition of a Net Idol it did not give examples or further information on the field of study. As well, in the "see also" category offering further links to lists of net idols, there was also limited information.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Social media use by Donald Trump


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article was very through and immensely detailed. There was not only ample amounts of information on the topic but there was a lot of background information. However, there was a slight tone in the article at the beginning it was leaning more against trump and his use of social media. This tone was back up by information proving the point, but it did pull more against trump that for. While it did push this standpoint, it did provide a lot of information on the topics and made it quite interesting. There was not only background information but specific details of his tweets and specific incidents that have happened and its effects. It was probably one of the most detailed and long articles i've read and there is a long list of references along with the in text links for further information.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Social media use by Barack Obama


 * Article Evaluation
 * Compared to the similar article above about Donald Trumps use of social media, this one had a much different sense. The tone was neutral and provided a lot of statistics on Obamas social media use. There was less background information on the topic of social media and Obama. Most of the points made were about how he used it for good purposes and the only time there was mention of something negative was when the account was hacked and it was not his fault. It was very different than the things talked about in Trumps article. However, Trump aside, it did provide good links and references and kept a neutral tone throughout the work. Most claims had a citation and external links were provided as you read.
