The lead is strong because it explains the definition of what Gatekeeping is and prepares the reader for the rest of the information. The introductory sentence clearly explains Gatekeeping and the many avenues “Gatekeeping” is discussed in. The lead doesn’t provide a brief description of the article’s major sections but does prep us to the idea of Gatekeeping. Overall, the lead is concise.

We first get a glimpse of content in the “Definition” section, I do believe because the lead already spends time on the definition of “Gatekeeping” it should go into the history instead of the repetition in the definition section. The content overall is up-to-date and give a thorough explanation of the presence of gatekeeping from the beginning. This give various examples of Gatekeeping but I do believe bringing up Gatekeeping in music and the arts could’ve helped in showing that. I also see, “Network Gatekeeping theory” gives more definitions and terms that could’ve been provided in the history section/lead. For the tone and balance I do believe you did a great job in keeping things neutral and showing Gatekeeping on all levels (politicians, audience members). I think it’s perceived that Gatekeeping only comes in positions of power but I do see it everyday even between us.

All content is backed with sources including pictures and links to where these specific articles can be found. I do believe this page is primary based on news and journalism types of Gatekeeping but I do believe “five criteria of choosing a news story” losses the pull of Gatekeeping in it’s entirety so when creating a new section I believe your power is in the multiple examples of Gatekeeping and how it impacts the direct parties. I know it may be hard to add new content but I do think adding the the examples provided can help so much and making the article stronger. Overall I think you did a good job but can make it so much stronger honing in on the examples of Gatekeeping.
