The q media panel unspins the federal budget
The q media panel weighs in on the big media stories of the week, including the federal budget and Desmond Cole's troubling Toronto Life cover story.
This week's q media panel — Desmond Cole, Lise Ravary and Andrew Potter — reflects on the most significant news events of the week, and how effectively they were covered by mainstream media.
At issue this week: (1) the strong reaction to Cole's first-person article about how he experience racism in Toronto (2) the federal budget announcement and whether it's largely become a public relations stunt, and (3) what it means when Pulitzer prize winning journalists quit the profession for PR gigs.
