Awezine Content Evaluation: Startup Weekend

As a major part of our Content Management course, we are required to maintain and manage an online magazine. Throughout the course, the group and I worked on obtaining content for our Awezine. I have managed with the help of my teammates to get 2 topics for the mag:

1. Start up weekend Bahrain.
2. The Bahrain Polytechnic football club interview with Philippe Vande Wiele, one of the founding members of the club.

In this post I'm going to evaluate one of the articles found in Awezine's website: the start up article. The evaluation criteria are:

1. Topic relevance :
2. credibility
3. Quality of content 
4. Language used/ style of writing

The rating will be on a scale of 5 , 1 being terrible , 5 being excellent.


 Topic relevance : 5/5
 I believe this article is relevant, appropriate and directly related to the magazine's target audience, which is higher education students and staff in Bahrain. This article concerns  students that are interested in entrepreneurship;starting up a business; as well as those who have ideas for start ups.

Credibility:  4.5/5
Since the event's official website was referenced in the article, and that the magazine's own media team covered the event, I believe those factors boost the article's credibility. The reason it did not get a full mark is because besides the organizer interview, there wasn't an interview with an official spokesman from the event.

Language used/ style of writing 4/5
The language used in both text and audio are semi-formal and straight to the point; the same can be said for the article's style of writing.

Quality of content 3.5/5
The written content is of satisfactory quality while  the video quality could be much better in terms of technical quality. However, the Student documentary and organizer interview are very enlightening and they provide an insight to to those who have missed this event.


Overall, I strongly believe that this article, despite it's humble video quality, is very suitable and informative to be published in Awezine magazine. Not only for the target audience but also for the public to benefit from.
