| | Advocacy journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | Corporate crime, government criticism, corruption and social issues are frequent topics of interest. | | | The proposed solution is to make biases explicit, with the intention of promoting transparency and self-awareness that better serves media consumers. |

| | About UOA Advocacy |
| | Through this "grassroots advocacy" we are able to capture the attention of many public policy makers and gain greater value for our small portion of the UOA budget. | | | We speak to many levels of the public policy establishment: to Congress through their individual members and the committees; to agencies such as the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (formerly HCFA) and the General Accounting Office; and to other voluntary health interest groups and coalitions who can help us achieve our goals. | | | After listening and collating what we have heard, we are able to speak on behalf of our membership, and in line with advocacy objectives that are developed by the Government Affairs Committee and approved by the UOA Board each year. |

| | "Advocacy creates the political will and momentum necessary to propel the scientific enterprise forward - whether through highlighting the urgency of the task at hand, educating those in a position to make a difference, or fomenting political pressure for change. | | | The report states that a shift is needed so that civil society gets involved and people play a role in water management that helps prevent conflicts among communities and between countries. | | | At the centre of the international development community's response to the Tsunami should have been the direct provision of USD 500 equivalent in local currency straight to each affected person. |
