This Lighthouse focuses on the challenge of reporting about travel with intent, respect, and integrity.

Although this isn’t a place to pitch ideas, the Lighthouse is a place for travel operators and tourism professionals to communicate with journalists and travel-writing colleagues.

The Lighthouse will feature:

Space for conversations about covering travel with Heralds as the experts:

• What does “Respectful” coverage mean?

• What’s a travel reporter’s responsibility to destinations they cover?

• The relationship between journalists and tourism organizations.

• Collaborations between journalists and tourism operators.

• How can journalists work better with locals and destinations?

• Press Trips

• Promotion and Journalism

• The Herald mentorship

Who Is It For?

Open to the entire TTC community, the conversation is meant as a space for journalists to brainstorm, and a time for Allies to learn about the process of covering stories.
