Travel 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.
