Option 1

 * Article title
 * Rear Window
 * Article Evaluation
 * In the lead section, author shortly introduce the background of Rear Window, such as the director, film stars, and the releasing company. The first sentence in lead section tells readers that Rear Window is a mystery thriller film, which greatly make sense in readers' mind. In content section, author divides 8 sections to state the different main points of Rear Window, from the plot to honors. The most attractive pint for me is the analysis, author quotes different essay about the Rear Window's core idea such as Laura Mulvey's essay "Visual Pleasure And Narrative Cinema" . All these resources are reliable and objective, combining the plot in Rear Window. Readers can understand the expression about Voyeurism in Rear Window by the resources author provided. The structure of the article is clearly, which make readers easy to understand the whole story, idea, and the achievements. In addition, even though the words author uses are nor gorgeous, all contents are naturally and clearly.

 * Article Evaluation
 * In the lead section, author introduce the meaning of mass media which is "a diverse array of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication. ", gives readers' a general understanding about this concept. Also, author describe the operation module of mass media more detailed, it's might be a little complicated for lead section. In content section, author divides totally 12 parts such as forms of mass media, issues with definition, and the purposes. Take the part of "forms of mass media" as an example, there are 7 main forms of mass media, author gives each form clearly description about these forms' method to pass information and the basic composition of forms.The resources auth uses are reliable and authoritative, every related concept accompanying with link. I could see that author is still working on improving this article with the new information about mass media appear. He removed a phrase about electronic conversion this year.
 * The reason I want to evaluate this article is the massive improvement of mass media in the past years. There is a huge leap after Internet appeared, which means the mass media became much more diversity instead of only printed media.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Virtual community
 * Article Evaluation
 * In the lead section, author briefly summary the definition of virtual community which is a social network of individuals to connect each other, giving readers clearly impression of the concept. Something surprised me is author uses quote from Howard Rheingold's essay in the lead section to describe the virtual community, even though this quote is truly helpful for me to understand the concept. Maybe author can try to paraphrase Howard's content in his own words. In the content section, he detailed state virtual community's different points such as purpose, effects, and types. In my opinion, author can make his words more clear and understandable. There are too many professional knowledge in his paragraph. The good thing is all citations are reliable and the informations in content are relevant with the topic. In addition, author analyzes the virtual community in both positive and negative aspect, which make sure the perspective in the article is objective. I choose this article to evaluate since the virtual community's huge impact in nowadays. In about 20 years ago, virtual community is a relative unknown concept for most people. However, with the high speed improvement of Internet, a little kid know how to communicate with others on social media.
