Politics and independence - The collapse of the Canadian Medical Association Journal

Article Abstract:

The Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) was in excellent shape until its publisher Graham Morris fired John Hoey, editor-in-chief, and his senior deputy editor, Ann Marie Todkill. The trouble began in 2001, when the journal published an editorial supporting the medical use of marijuana, and since then the underlying fight within the CMA between those who wanted to control the journal and those who favored complete independence continued, and the CMAJ's future remains uncertain.
