| | In the United States, Advocacy journalism is part of the nomenclature of questions related to debate over systemic media bias in domestic media. | | | These are examples of a highly unethical form of "advocacy journalism" trying to pass itself off as objective news. | | | Advocacy journalism is a genre of journalism that is strongly fact-based, but may seek to support a point-of-view in some public or private sector issue. |
