Lets you create a content inventory right in the WordPress Edit screens, similar to the process you might use to assess your site’s content in a spreadsheet. You can mark content as redundant, outdated, trivial, or in need of a review for SEO or style. These content status labels work just like categories, so you can remove the built-in ones and add your own if you like. You can also assign a content owner (distinct from the original author) and keep internal notes. The IDs are revealed on the Edit screens so you can keep track of your content even if you change titles and permalinks. The plugin supports custom post types as well as posts, pages, and media files.
There’s an Overview report under the Dashboard menu that shows you which posts/pages/attachments/etc. need attention, sorted by user. This screen also lets you export a CSV file of the audit report.
The plugin creates three new filters on the Edit screens: author, content owner, and content status. This should make it easy to narrow your focus to just a few pages at a time.
You can display the audit details to logged-in editors on the front end if you want, either above or below the content. You can style the audit message with custom CSS.
New: you can now clear data from past audits and start over!

Content Audit

This is a light-weight plugin that's very approachable.. I've found people like using it.

I could imagine more robust reporting features and other small polishes, but this plugin pretty much does exactly what it says and works great.

Great plugin I love to recommend

This plugin records which user actually trashed a post, which in a multi-author environment may not always be the original post author. This helps to maintain accountability for who was ultimately responsible for deleting a post. It also records when the post got trashed.
The admin listing of trashed posts is amended with new “Trashed By” and “Trashed On” columns that shows the name of the person who trashed the post or page and the date the post was trashed, respectively.
The plugin makes no assumption about who trashed a post, or when, for posts that were trashed prior to the use of this plugin (since the plugin could not have directly recorded information about the post’s trashing). The “Trashed By” and “Trashed On” values for those posts will remain empty. Put another way, only posts or pages trashed while this plugin is active will have the user who trashed the post/page and that date recorded.

Trashed By

Records which user trashed a post and when they trashed it. Displays that info as columns in admin trashed posts listings.
