Q media panel: York U controversy, 24 Seven Harper

It's time for the first Q media panel of 2014 -- and there's plenty to discuss!
The media panel isn't too impressed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper's new channel, 24 Seven

The last week in media saw small stories blow up, and big stories fail to generate much ink at all. A controversy over a religious accommodation request at York University seemed to everyone talking -- while the ongoing imprisonment of a Canadian journalist did not. And then there was the relatively quiet announcement that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has launched his video series, 24 Seven.

The Q media panel -- Jonathan Kay of the National Post, Judy Rebick of rabble.ca and, this week, Tony Burmanof the Ryerson school of Journalism -- reconvenes for the first time in 2014 to discuss this week in news coverage.
