Advocacy Journalism

Abstract

Advocacy journalism has been considered to be a particular style of reporting, one which promotes a specific political or social cause. But in today's complex news ecologies, defined by a diverse range of sources of news and where the professional, the advocate, and the amateur are all legitimate reporters, advocacy journalism has evolved beyond partisanship and simply taking sides. The oppositional portrayal of advocacy and objectivity is perhaps a false dichotomy. The issue is not whether advocacy is present in journalism, but the extent and shape of its presence.
