　　1.①Politics or, more broadly, the functioning of the state, is a major subject for journalists.②The better informed they are about the way the state works, the better their reporting will be.③In fact, it is difficult to see how journalists who do not have a clear grasp of the basic features of the Canadian Constitution can do a competent job on political stories.

　　2.①Furthermore, the legal system and the events which occur within it are primary subjects for journalists.②While the quality of legal journalism varies greatly, there is an undue reliance amongst many journalists on interpretations supplied to them by lawyers.③While comment and reaction from lawyers may enhance stories, it is preferable for journalists to rely on their own notions of significance and make their own judgments.④These can only come from a well-grounded understanding of the legal system.
