Every Friday, The Takeaway convenes a panel to look back at the week’s big stories. This week’s panel includes Ron Christie, Takeaway contributor and Republican political strategist, Jeff Yang, columnist for the Wall Street Journal and blogger for WNYC’s It’s a Free Country, and Farai Chideya, journalist and fellow at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics. They’ll cover Facebook’s step into public life, developments in the Senate and House showdown over the Violence Against Women Act, and new developments in the death of Trayvon Martin.
