pamphleteers

Distribute printed arguments

Pamphleteers are writers or distributors of pamphlets—short printed works typically advocating a political or social position.

The term evokes an era before mass media when pamphlets were primary vehicles for public argument: The pamphleteers of the American Revolution shaped colonial opinion.

Today it often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting partisan zeal over balanced analysis.
