Article class
editHi! I saw your post at the Teahouse. It looks like you want to raise the article quality/class of digital journalism - there's a page on article assessment here, however for the time being I would focus more on just improving the page in general. The best thing to do would be to review the article and see if there is anything missing or out of date, as well as to check whether or not the article has any uncited claims. This is something that is one of the core parts of improving an article's quality. Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:40, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Media bias in the US
editHi! It looks like your additions to this article were reverted. I wanted to let you know, explain some of the reasons why, and also give you a head's up about the article in general. First off, the article is one that is currently held under sanctions. What this means is that the article is one that is more heavily edited and watched than others on Wikipedia, as it deals with a topic that it contentious. As such, any edits to the page must be written as neutrally as possible and you must use the strongest possible sourcing. It's also important to make sure that the edits fit into the page as best as possible and if the info is challenged, it must be discussed before being re-added to the article.
The material in question was removed by Rick Norwood, who wrote that "These two paragraphs may contain information of interest, but the first certainly is not important enough (or clear enough) to be in the lead, and both are not written in an encyclopedic style and contain grammatical errors."
When it comes to adding something into the lead, it's vital to make sure that it's something major - the lead should contain the main points of the article, pretty much a summary of the article. It's also important to be careful when it comes to tone. You wrote "Fox news is also a news cite under a lot of heat for their biased viewpoints". Although you followed this up with a source and a quote, the issue here is that it's written like it's Wikipedia making the claim rather than it being something that was stated by the person in the source. With things like this it's better to state "Fox News has received criticism for its conservative viewpoints, which some detractors have criticized as biased.", as this puts the emphasis on it being something that another person or persons have stated, not Wikipedia itself.
I hope this all helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:18, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
