In the news: Renegadepress.com comes to Global

From Tim Arsenault of the Halifax Chronicle Herald:

  • Dealing with issues naturally: Series about youth delivers messages without amping up the drama
    “For families that might be in the market for something slightly less salacious, there’s been renegadepress.com. In addition to being a youth-friendly web portal, the name is also the title of a half-hour scripted show that’s been available to most viewers on APTN. That’s a little under-the-radar for some viewers, but renegadepress.com is premiering on Global tonight at 7 p.m. with the first of 52 episodes comprising four seasons’ worth of shows.” Read more.

From Bill Harris of Sun Media:

  • PeterWhen art imitates Bertuzzi
    “Peter Miller even looks a little like Todd Bertuzzi. They aren’t spitting images or anything. But Miller’s character in MVP, Damon Trebuchet, doesn’t do the exact same thing as Bertuzzi, either. Suffice to say that in this week’s instalment of MVP on CBC, the general similarities to the infamous Bertuzzi incident will not escape you.” Read more.
