I have chosen to evaluate this article on the Flint Water Crisis because it is an important environmental crisis in the recent history of the United States and I wanted to learn more.

Evaluate the article
The article does a good job presenting the information in a factual, unbiased and clear manner. There is a description of the event and maintains an even tone throughout. There are a few sources that are not reliable enough for this type of article, in my opinion. This includes quoting Politico, a political newspaper in America. Quoting a news outlet in what should be citing scientific information, makes the article seem less reliable. The article is well written and organized. It includes a few images that help to show the issue and identify individuals involved which is useful. Overall, this article is very complete giving a background, then going into a full timeline. It provides useful information, but it would make the article more reliable if there was more citation of scientific sources.
