journalism is dead, activism is at an all-time high

Oh yeah, Journalists , I remember those.

If you're asking the question you must be a journalist.

Really? Just how old are you?

Huntley and Brinkley - the last time I heard impartial journalism. One memory is body count numbers in Vietnam. Simple reporting. No crocodile tears.

“And that’s the news -“

“Good night David”. “Good night Chet”.

In your opinion what is the difference between journalism and activism?

Actual journalists at least occasionally tell both sides of a story.

In some cases based on my opinion.
Fact vs Fiction
True Journalism is based on facts backed up by real evidence not hearsay, guessing and a reporters personal agenda.
Activism is based on an agenda and personal feeling not always based on fact.
The best example I can think of over the last 15 to 20 years would be global warming.
This is just my opinion though.
