Advocacy journalism

Explanation:

Press agencies practicing journalistic advocacy, sometimes called 'alternative publications', have a 'stated bias', that is, a publicly recognized editorial point of view, and are clear about their editorial position. Mass media, sometimes referred to as 'current in vogue', has often implicit or hidden 'biases'. Since its editorial standpoint supposedly coincides with that of the majority, no one reflects on it. Everyone seems to agree, so there is no apparent 'bias'. Only those who hold a minority position are seen as "neutral"
