Advocacy journalism?
Posted October 2nd, 2009 at 7:57 AM by SamHI’m certainly not saying that breast cancer isn’t an important issue that affects everyone in one way or another, but —without being critical —- I have to ask this question: Does the N&R’s pink newspaper cross the line into advocacy journalism?
I’d show what the print edition looks like, but for some reason it’s not here.

Of all the egregious things that this rag does, advocating to fight breast cancer is probably not a big deal. I’m sure that they will print a blue edition to advocate against prostate cancer…won’t they?

And, how about a yellow edition to advocate for our troops in battle.
