The way to read this post is to replace the word 'journalists' with the word 'educators'. So. Would it be a good thing if advocates became educators?

Is this OK? What if the funding agency were the Koch brothers. Matthew Ingram argues "the world of journalism and the world as a whole are probably better off now that there are activist organizations that are trying to use the tools of modern media to tell stories." But the line between education and journalism and propaganda is a thin one.
