Advocacy journalism

Advocacy journalism is a style of reporting that aims to promote a specific cause or viewpoint. Unlike traditional journalism, which strives for objectivity and neutrality, advocacy journalism takes a stance on issues and seeks to influence public opinion or policy. Advocates use storytelling, research, and emotional appeal to highlight social injustices, environmental concerns, or human rights issues. While it can raise awareness and drive change, critics argue it may compromise impartiality. Overall, advocacy journalism plays a role in highlighting important issues while promoting a particular perspective in the media landscape.
