On the relevance of travel journalism : An introduction
No full textNot many people will be instantly familiar with British woman Dale\ud
Sheppard-Floyd, but – at least symbolically – she represents a significant\ud
milestone in the development of travel and tourism. In fact, the\ud
milestone was so significant that the United Nations World Tourism\ud
Organization booked Madrid’s venerable Museo del Prado to announce\ud
to the world’s media her visit to Spain on 13 December 2012. For Ms\ud
Sheppard-Floyd’s arrival for a three-day trip meant that more than one\ud
billion times in that year, someone had crossed a border as a tourist.\ud
An astounding number, considering that, in 1950, there had been only\ud
25 million tourist arrivals worldwide, and even only two decades previously\ud
– in 1990 – the number had been less than half at 435 million\ud
arrivals (World Tourism Organization, 2012a, 2012b). While people\ud
have traveled for pleasure for millennia (Towner, 1995), tourism really\ud
came into its own with the expansion of the middle classes in the 19th\ud
and 20th century, and today it is considered the world’s largest business\ud
sector, with unprecedented numbers of people venturing outside\ud
of their immediate environments to explore the world around them.\ud
In 2012, travel and tourism’s total contribution to the world economy\ud
amounted to a staggering $6.6 trillion, or 9 per cent of GDP (World\ud
Travel & Tourism Council, 2013). More than 260 million jobs were\ud
generated by it worldwide, which equates to one in every 11 jobs across\ud
the globe. While there were some hiccups during the Global Financial\ud
Crisis, growth in 2012 was stronger than in other industries, such as\ud
manufacturing, financial services and retail (World Travel & Tourism\ud
Council, 2013)..

Travel Journalism : Exploring Production, Impact and Culture
No full textTravel journalism has experienced enormous growth over recent decades, with a record number of media organizations now involved in producing information for tourists in one way or another. Correspondingly, journalism and media scholars have begun to pay more attention to this phenomenon. This book gives a comprehensive overview of the burgeoning field of travel journalism studies. The contributors explore travel journalism in newspapers and magazines, on television and online, across a wide range of national and cultural contexts. Individual chapters provide critical discussions of theoretical approaches, present studies of production, content and impact, and explain how travel journalism can be understood through the lenses of postcolonialism, sustainability and cosmopolitanism. This fascinating account offers a thoroughly international and interdisciplinary perspective on an increasingly important field of journalism scholarship

Lifestyle Journalism
No full textLifestyle journalism has experienced enormous growth in the media over the past two decades, but scholars in the fields of journalism and communication studies have so far paid relatively little attention to a field that is still sometimes seen as “not real journalism”. There is now an urgent need for in-depth exploration and contextualisation of this field, with its increasing relevance for 21st century consumer cultures.\ud
\ud
For the first time, this book presents a wide range of studies which have engaged with the field of lifestyle journalism in order to outline the various political, economic, social and cultural tensions within it. Taking a comparative view, the collection includes studies covering four continents, including countries such as Australia, China, Norway, Denmark, Singapore, the UK and the USA. While keeping the broader lifestyle field in mind, the chapters focus on a variety of sub-fields such as travel, music, food, health, fashion and personal technology journalism. This volume provides a fascinating account of the different facets of lifestyle journalism, and charts the way forward for a more sustained analysis of the field.\ud
