I can think of a few accomplished, well-respected, and high-quality journalists that would be considered (and likely self-identify as) activists. I respect people using their talents to further a cause they deeply care about.
The problem is there is a difference in bias. Ostensibly a journalist is interested in following what leads to facts while suppressing any personal bias. Activists seek facts which support their biases (as well intended as they may be).
