Evaluate an article

 * Name of article: Environmental communication
 * I chose to evaluate this article because it is regarding a topic that I am interested in and have not heard much about.

Lead
The Lead includes a lengthy quote definition of the topic, making it hard to read and not concise. On the other hand, the Lead describes the topic thoroughly. The Lead also includes little information which are not mentioned further in the article.

Content
The article's content is relevant to the topic, yet it branches out to explaining other factors related to the topic.

Despite most of the sources being from a couple years past, I believe the content is up to date as it includes two 2020 sources. These sources touch on the 'modern' environmental communication, which includes information technology.

I believe there is content missing regarding the mobilization related to environmental communication. Recent social manifestations of the young public on social media nowadays who raised awareness on climate change could be an interesting and valuable section in this article.

Tone and Balance
This article appears to be neutral as it does not require any stance to be taken when writing about it.

When referring to academia, the article references only one scholar. While it does not challenge the scholar's standpoint, the article does not overrepresent it either.

Sources and References
All the facts in the article appear to be backed up with academic sources, including academic books and journals. Also, in order the article is supported with studies conducted by scholars.

Only two of the sources are up to date, while others go all the way back to 2004.

All of the links work yet some pages restrict access to the source as it requires subscriptions.

Organization
The article is relatively wordy and could be more concise. I was not able to find any grammatical errors. It is very organized and broken down into each section included in the content box.

Images and Media
The article does not include any image to enhance the topic.

Checking the talk page
People are not very active in this article's talk page, the last edit was on January of 2018.

This article is also a part of WikiProject Environment and of WikiProject Media.

Overall impressions
This article could be improved by being more concise and including more up to date examples. One of its strengths is that it covers the topic thoroughly. I believe the article was well-developed yet it could be improved with a few edits.
