Which article are you evaluating?
(Talk:Media consumption)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

Because this article is related to my subject. This is also the part of media theory that I interested most. This is one of the knowledge point that we're going to do in the course, and we'll probably use it on the exam so it's very important. My preliminary impression of this article is that it is very clear, because it has a table at the beginning telling us about what we are about to read.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Most of the content of the article is related to the topic of the article, but there are some historical stories that make me a little distracted. For example, they focus too much on the creation of electronic media devices. I don't think this article have any notable equity gaps. It didn't misrepresents historically marginalized population. It is comprehensive. Because in this article, the negative impact of media consumption are described at great length, but the description of the positive impact is much smaller than the description of the disadvantage. The link in the reference working very well and the source quite supports the claim in the article. It explained about the knowledge in this article more in detail. The information are mostly come from some very reliable book, publisher and academic resource. The sources come from several authors and publications. This article has been rated as low-importance on the project's importance scale. It is a part of WikiProjects. Many people on talk page  give high praise to this article, believing that it is clear and credible, and can learn some very detailed knowledge from it, which is even not learned in class. The way Wikipedia discusses this topic is more inclined to historical information and development process. For some specific information, such as good influence and bad influence, there is no specific example to provide more evidence. In class, the teacher will give some more specific examples or events to help us understand.
