Which article are you evaluating?
Silicon Hills

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because Silicon Hills is the tech center of Austin, and it is a source of great tech migration from Silicon Valley to Austin. Thus, it is central to my Research Based Argument paper on the implications of tech workers leaving on Silicon Valley's contributions to the tech industry. I found the article informative but not exhaustive. It does a decent job of explaining what Silicon Hills is but lacks historical background.

Evaluate the article
The lead section's first sentence does an adequate job at concisely defining Silicon Hills. The content is relevant to the topic and is completely objective, i.e. the tone is well balanced and the author does not take an opinion or introduce bias. However, the material is out of date. For example, the venture capital figures end at 2016 which was 7 years ago. Moreover, more companies have moved to Silicon Hills, which could be added to the article's list of companies. I also think the content could benefit from historical context of how Silicon Hills first started. The few images included do aid the reader's understanding of the content. Thus, my overall impression is that the article does a solid job of explaining unbiased basic information related to Silicon Hills, but its information could be updated and more exhaustive.
