Travel Writers Vs. the Big, Hungry PR Machine: It’s War!
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 09.27.04 | 7:25 PM ET
We’ve read a lot of critiques of modern travel writing, but none with the overheated rhetoric of Tim McDonald’s recent piece, “Travel Writers Often Turn a Blind Eye to Reality.” “There is a war going on,” he writes. Travel writers are “consorting with the enemy.” McDonald pulls from Thomas Swick’s critique from the Columbia Journalism Review to support a lot of his points, which isn’t surprising. Swick’s is a cogent piece. What is surprising, though, is where McDonald’s article is posted: travelgolf.com.
