A great journalism program teaches writing, reporting, and research, but also teaches the so-called larger issues like ethics, law, history, the culture of the newsroom, media studies, journalism traditions, the business of journalism, communications theory, ways to make our profession better, and the like.
One of the awful things about this debate is that it continues the notion that in journalism, one is either in one camp or the other.
The basic reporting camp is regarded as dumb by the other camp, and the basic reporting camp regards the others as people who detest journalism and know little or nothing about it.

Editorial independence is a vital part of any respected medical journal and the CMA says it "recognizes the necessity of editorial independence of the Editor-in-Chief." As mentioned above, the content of a journal goes beyond peer-reviewed medical research.

The CMA establishes a five-member Journal Oversight Committee to review journal content and to "assist in maintaining harmonious relations between CMAJ and the association [CMA]," according to a CMAJ writer.
