I think it's a point worth repeating. Terry Nelson's point is well taken and reminded me of comments made many years ago by Dick Gray, then dean of the Indiana University School of Journalism. When a journalism student writes a story, everything that student understands about history, art, government, Englishcomes into play. Publications, then, become a litmus test for what students know and understand about their world. The fact that the journalism experience crosses so many boundaries for students as they begin to make connect classroom knowledge to the larger world is both a strength and weakness of our field.
Journalism is both process and product.
It doesn't fit neatly into a single code or standard. The IPSB doesn't seem to know what to do with journalism education. Maybe we should be happy about that.
