The kickoff will be a roundtable discussion (free admission) called "The Trouble With Media" on Thursday, May 6 at Ryerson. The roundtable is at 245 Church Street, Room LG-11 (George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre). A reception at the Churchmouse and Firkin pub, 475 Church St. (upstairs) will follow.
Panellists include John McGrath (former CBC public affairs reporter), Lise Lareau (Canadian Media Guild), Sharmini Pereis (The Real News Network), Robert Hackett (Simon Fraser University) and Leslie Regan Shade (Concordia University).
