Which article are you evaluating?
Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it relates to media and communications and it brings up some disturbing events that have occurred that need to be brought to light. Although, some topics are difficult to discuss it is important that people are informed about these topics especially when they involve a former leader.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is strong as it introduces the main topic and goes into detail about the issue that occurred. It does not seem to go into more detail on one part of the event and ignore other parts which is an awesome sign. In addition, the article is written in an unbiased way as it includes opinions from other individuals. The article gives a detailed overview of the people involved and does not pin point one individual, although Donald Trump is one of the main individuals involved. Furthermore, regarding sections of the article, it is sectioned off very well and is easy to follow from a readers point of view. The article also does include a couple photos, however, I feel as though the pictures could have been stronger and helped explain the issue more. Lastly, and one of the most important points, the article has many sources that are reliable. For example, "The New York Times" was used as one of the sources.

Overall, the article is well developed. It gives great detail on the issue that occurred and is easy to follow which is extremely important. One thing the article could improve on is including some better photos for the reader. In addition, since this article is about sexual assault which is a very sad and touchy subject maybe the article could have included resources for individuals to get help if they have been a victim of sexual assault.
