Digital Rhetoric

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This was the article assigned for my Digital Rhetoric class (ENGL491). I think, especially in the year 2021, everyone needs to understand what rhetoric is but also the different mediums that create it and how the subject is studied. I think it's a very good article actually. It's pretty lengthy and it even have a section of technofeminism, albeit a short one. It seems like this article covers a lot of ground.

Content:
Yes everything is relevant, nothing was distracting. Twitter's character limit is updated (to show 280 characters) and there's an article from 2015 so it seems updated. A foundation of digital rhetoric involves marginalized people so I didn't find any issues. Ironic that an article about digital rhetoric has only three pieces of media. I would definitely add more pictures to break up the text.

Tone:
The article has a very objective and unbiased tone. While there are beliefs and opinions, they are only the beliefs and opinions of scholars who use their research to create their claims, like theories. All viewpoints seems pretty fair.

Sources:
All of the links I clicked were functional and supported the claims they referenced. It looks as if every paragraph has a source, and many paragraphs have multiple sources. I would say every claim is supported by a source. Yes, there is a wide variety of sources and they all seem to be from reputable publications.

Talk Page:
There were many conversations taking place in the Talk Page spanning many years. The most interesting message I saw was from a user who was grammar checking the politics section and thought it would be best to remove someone else's work about the tweets of Trump, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and others because "they don't add much to the article." The Digital Rhetoric article is a member of five WikiProjects. The contributors are (obviously) very focused remaining unbiased but we do not need to worry about that for our class.
