January 28, 2006Junket For BloggersA number of bloggers are getting a free trip to Amsterdam. Arguably, it's barter for placing advertisements on their blog, though it's highly questionable whether that's an even trade. Freebies of this level are a no-no in journalism, though they are not unknown among freelance travel journalists, who are often seen as touts. Quality publications also have a wall between advertising and editorial, though that's obviously impossible for a one-person blog operation. Holland is not a particularly controversial topic, so no great harm is done. But imagine if a party to credit card-related legislation brought bloggers to Barbados to explain their side of the story. Would you give much weight to the views of those bloggers on the legislation after that? Posted by rickheller at January 28, 2006 09:54 AMComments
The slippery slope. Then it's golf trips to Scotland. |
