  CJR cites a Washington Post columnist’s proposal that news outlets should toss objective journalism out the door, destroy barriers between news content and editorial content that comprise the foundation of ethical journalism, and allow newsrooms coordinate with columnists to lobby politicians:

  “Reporters and columnists could, between them, suggest possible solutions, demand specific plans from lawmakers, and ask our leaders what they’re doing to fix the problem for as long as it takes for them to fix it,” says CJR, citing Washington Post columnist Margaret Sullivan

  If that is the direction news reporters deliberately take, they might need to be registered as lobbyists.
