I chose this article to evaluate because it relates to my field of study and Multimedia is a growing area in Communications so it's beneficial to learn about it through an in-depth analysis.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The overview at the start of the article is clear and easy to understand. It only includes one sentence so it's a bit vague but a reader who wants to just identify the topic can do so by just reading the one sentence. However, it does not include a brief overview of the the articles major sections. The lead is very concise and is not overly detailed. More detail should be added retaining to important details of the field of study.

Content

The overall content is good, it gives a brief overview of the history of Multimedia Studies, recent challenges, and Media 2.0. But it's too vague again, more detail needs to be added about the origins of Multimedia and the challenges it's faced not just recently but historically. All the content belongs but I would suggest to keep this article up to date, adding a section about where the field of study is now and where it is going in the future would be beneficial.

Tone and Balance

The article is written from a neutral point of view and does not attempt to persuade the reader to favour a position.

Sources and References All facts are backed by a reliable source, sources are thorough but are a bit dated. Sources are written by a diverse spectrum of authors.

Organization and Writing Quality

The article is well written, it is concise, clear and easy to read. The article is well-organized as it is broken into section for each topic discussed. Very minor grammatical errors.

Overall Impression

The article is good, it gives a clear and easy understanding of Multimedia Studies, bu it is underdeveloped. The article needs to add more detail to each section as well as include a section about the current and future standing of Multimedia Studies, for those seeking a more in depth analysis of the subject.
