Regarding the “news” article on emergency contraception,1 I think the trend in some journals, including the CMAJ, of apparently allowing free rein to journalists within its pages is disturbing. These journals were founded to present scientifically rigorous research and meaningful comment by clinicians and scientists. It's bad enough we have to endure reporters, misinterpretion and sensationalization of medical issues in newspapers and on the evening news. We should not have to endure it in purportedly peer-reviewed medical science journals.
