Missing and murdered Indigenous women

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because I have a large concern that this problem with MMIW is growing. I wanted to make sure the information is up to date and has the correct statistics for the current year.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section:

I think that the lead section does its job. It states very quick what the article is about. It gives brief overviews about what is going to be written about. The information doesn't drag on and doesn't have information that isn't prevalent.

Content:

The content in the article sticks to the topic throughout the page. It does need a few updates with the statistics, but nothing major. It doesn't have any information that shouldn't be there and it talks about how indigenous women are underrepresented within media with such a large problem.

Tone and Balance:

I think that the writers of this article stayed quite neutral given that this topic is so emotional. With this piece it's one sided anyway. There really is no blame put on a specific group of people. The writer just stated the facts. I thought that the article wrote about everything in an equal way. No, the article doesn't try to sway people, all it is trying to do is bring awareness and state the facts.

Sources and References:

Facts are indeed sourced and they reflect the literature. The sources aren't super current but it's easily updatable. All the links I checked worked. There was a good diversity to the sources.

Organization and writing quality:

I thought that it was well written, had topics organized in a great manner, and I couldn't find any grammatical errors.

Images and Media:

The images stay on the topic of the article, they are nicely places throughout the text, they all look like they follow the copyright regulations, and are well captioned.
