Scholar-Activism

My question about scholar-activism is:

How do we balance concerns about making the most advocacy/activist impact in the community, with concerns about making sure we meet expectations of academia? E.g. we were recently discouraged from writing about our research for a grey literature publication, told to publish in scholarly journals only. How can we justify (to the department) time spent writing for less-academic publications that will be more widely read?
