Sammy Roth of the LA Times is one of my very favorite reporters because he covers the renewable/conservation tension. At the same time, he argues that it's OK, even preferable to be an advocate. "I’ve been transparent with LA Times readers about where I’m coming from—that I find climate change very scary, and that I care about speeding up the clean energy transition. This hasn’t hurt my credibility, or my ability to tell these stories. On the contrary, it’s helped me do my job better."

Point being in your typology, I don't think the LA Times is known as an advocacy media organization but it still employs open advocates.
