Option 1

 * Article title
 * Global journalism


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has not yet been rated on any scale by Wikipedia. It just consists of two small paragraphs about global journalism and only three references. Therefore, this article has much scope for improvement from adding different sections and headings/subheadings to adding more reliable sources and references. In addition, it would also be useful to add examples and images to help improve the understanding of the concept.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Public opinion


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has been rated as Start- Class and as High-importance. The issue with this article, which has also been highlighted by Wikipedia itself, is that it lacks proper verification via reliable sources. So, the addition of reliable sources for verification purposes would be a priority. Further, it would be beneficial to add more on the specific section of Role of influentials and bring in the various factors, from economic to political, into discussions and see how these factors impact public opinion.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Post-truth


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has been rated as Start-Class and as Low-importance. The issue with this article is that it only analyzes the concept of post-truth from a philosophical standpoint. Hence, I would like to incorporate the political and social standpoints as well. It has only a couple of subsections so I would add more. In addition, I would add examples and images, with a close focus on its political and social implications.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Gatekeeping (communication)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has been rated as C-Class. The article has several subsections that cover most of the information from history to its processes. I would probably add information on the gatekeeping function in relation to social media platforms such as Twitter.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Echo chamber (media)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has been rated as Start-Class. The article has some good preliminary information on the concept of the echo chamber in media, however, lacks detail and depth. I would like to add a few new subsections and images. In addition, I would focus on adding information that presents alternative viewpoints so that the article has a well-rounded discussion.
