Isn’t Ed Yong representing the debate between scientists and science writers, not what these people do in their day work? (Your 'main problem' is with their work, not the debate.)
They're mostly counted in with "Bad Journalists" but there may be one or two falling into the category of "Good Journalists." Personally, I don't know of any who are good journalists but I'd hate to entirely rule out the possibility.

Are university press release hacks missing from the diagram, or are they just counted in with the bad journalists?

Yes, that. Also it's "Yong" not "Young". God, scientists are always misrepresenting journalists ;-)
