Instead of "advocacy journalism", Rebick said she prefers the French term "journaliste éngagé," which, she said, recognizes that journalists can be both committed to pursuit of objectivist ideals while being involved with issues.

 Advocacy journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United States, Advocacy journalism is part of the nomenclature of questions related to debate over systemic media bias in domestic media.
This is also an example of advocacy journalism.
Advocacy journalism is a genre of journalism which is strongly fact-based, but may seek to support a point-of-view in some public or private sector issue.

What they could NOT do was accept payment for advocacy from any but their media employers.
Advocacy journalism was misguided and counterproductive, he wrote, and he was opposed to it "if it means presenting a one-sided and unfair view of an issue." Environmental journalists should be advocates "only for the beat," he believed.
The 1997 amendment further barred active (and therefore voting) membership to anyone employed by a company or other organization engaged in environmental lobbying or public relations.

 Stephen Spruiell on Craig Crawford & Media on National Review Online
The word "advocacy" brings to mind lawyers, lobbyists, and other hired guns.
It's not that I think there should be less advocacy journalism, but I think we should restore faith to the objective reporting so that we can see the differences between someone who's advocating a point of view and someone who's reporting a point of view.
Crawford's MSM "messengers" are under attack because they are engaged in stealth advocacy.

And I like state Sen. Bruce Cairns and Rep. Bill Crane, who plan to introduce an identity theft bill in the 2004 legislative session.
However, a Dec. 1 Denver Post article touting the new legislation was sloppy advocacy journalism.
The Post claimed that "The Federal Trade Commission estimates that one in four Coloradans in the next 12 months will have their identity assumed by someone else." But if you look at the FTC's identity theft Web site (www.consumer.gov/idtheft/), you will find no such statistic.

And does it help move the public toward meaningful judgment and action?"
Journalism may have contributed to public alienation from government, as Merritt and Rosen contend, but we cannot overlook the cumulative corrosive impact of the last 30 years of government duplicity and scandal.
It offers many specific antidotes to what might be considered today's nonpublic journalism: involving citizens in the news agenda; divorcing coverage from officialdom and grounding it in people's lives; clearing away some of the snideness and smugness that have infiltrated the media.

 Charlotta Bass and the California Eagle--The Charlotta Bass Story
The paper also helped to bring Los Angeles-based civil rights struggles to the national stage.
Bass practiced "advocacy" journalism, which challenges today's notion that news reporting should be "unbiased." In advocacy journalism, the newspaper openly takes a stand and presents the news from that position.
Moreover, in advocacy journalism, the newspaper is not merely reporting information but is involved in the process of making the news.
