Abstract
There are striking similarities between the US and Canadian systems of journalism education. These include: the pattern of historical development; curricular emphasis; relations with professional colleagues; and future challenges. However, the paper also traces significant differences, among which are: the relatively stronger role of government in Canada; that country's greater emphasis on non-university education; greater curricular differentiation in US programs; the type of academic unit within which journalism study is located; and the absence of a national accreditation system in Canada. The paper attempts to explain why these similarities and differences have emerged.
