The article I chose to write about was Alice Marwick. She is a writer who has written for big publications such as the New York Times. An article that I think would be a great template for my article is Terry Flew

This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.

• Name of article: (link) Terry Flew
• Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. The article seems to provide a lot of information of Flew's life and his works as an author/writer. It gives me the idea to do the same with Alice Marwick's article's. A lot of details about his opinions. It also has a lot of really good academic sources that I feel like is a good base for what I should work for. I do believe though that there was a lot of summary about Flew's book which isn't really the point here. It's more about the life of the person.

Lead

Guiding questions

• Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? I believe so it chronicles what Flew has done and is accomplished and what is known for.
• Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? I believe so it mentions his beginnings, his works, and his awards which are all sections later on
• Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? No. It seems to provide the sections that are all said in the article and that doesn't seem to go beyond that
• Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? Concise and to the point

Content

Guiding questions

• Is the article's content relevant to the topic? Yes for the most part, the article does go a little off in when summarizing Flew's books
• Is the content up-to-date? Yes as Terry Flew is still alive and teaching
• Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? Terry Flew's early life information is not there where he is from and how old he is. A lot of summarizing his books.
• Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics? No.

Tone and Balance

Guiding questions

• Is the article neutral? Seems to be
• Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? No
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? No
• Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? No

Sources and References

Guiding questions

• Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? A lot of the sources are from Flew's personal profile's and works
• Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? Yes
• Are the sources current? Yes as Flew's profile which the bulk of the information comes from is updated every so recently
• Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible? No they don't.
• Check a few links. Do they work? A few do not.

Organization

Guiding questions

• Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? It is a pretty wordy at times when reading it. Feel like the paragraphs need to be spaced out
• Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors? Not that I can see
• Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? The sections seem to break it down nicely.

Images and Media

Guiding questions

• Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic? No there are no images at all
• Are images well-captioned? No image
• Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations? No image
• Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way? No

Checking the talk page

Guiding questions

• What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? None
• How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? It is within the scope of WikiProject Australia. It is rated as low importance
• How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class? Wikipedia will remove the article due to low amount of sources whereas I was under the impression if some of the sources are good enough, then the Wiki won't worry about it, but it seems like it needs a source amount requirement.

Overall impressions

Guiding questions

• What is the article's overall status? Needs additional citations for verification and photos
• What are the article's strengths? It's diversity in sections
• How can the article be improved? More citations, less about summarizing Flew's works and more about the man himself, add pictures
• How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed? I think it is well-developed

Overall evaluation

A well written article that needs more sources and citations to have it stay on Wikipedia. Needs photos. It has a lot of information

New Media: An Introduction

In New Media: An Introduction, Flew explored the theories of new media, its development and the role of new media in networked society. The book examines how new media is socially, economically and politically impacting creative industries. In the first chapter, Flew tries to define “new media” as a media that combines three Cs: computing information technology, communication network, and content. One of Flew's biggest contribution in this book is in the second chapter, in which Flew explains 20 key concepts of new media, which includes collective intelligence, convergence, creative industries, cyberspace, digital capitalism, digital copyrights/creative commons, digital divide, globalization, hype, information overload, interactivity, knowledge economy, networks, participation, remediation, security and surveillance, speed, ubiquity, user-generated content/user-led innovation, and virtuality. Flew argues that new media is unable to be categorized as dualistic, as it is an inherent part of constructing the good and the bad for the society. Flew also argues that the significance and usage of new media has not only influenced what people think but also influenced the process of such thinking. In this book, Flew also explores some of the key elements of new media and its usages in globalization, such as the culture of participatory media, the technology of games, online news and the future of digital journalism. Furthermore, Flew also explored how new media is impacting creative industries and internet governance. First published in 2002, the book is currently in its fourth edition, last published in 2014. The latest edition includes additional chapters on Transforming Higher Education, and Online Activism and Networked Politics. It also includes a substantial revision on the chapter of Online News and the Future of Journalism. The Canadian Edition of the book is published in 2011, co-written by Flew and Richard Smith, and now is in its second edition, last published in 2014.
