Bay Area Travel Writers (BATW) were treated to a lively presentation at the Noe Valley branch of the San Francisco Public Library. The topic: The Ethics & Etiquette of Travel Writing—that is, an examination of what’s involved from an ethical standpoint when it comes to travel-writer comps, press trips, and freebies. The panel was conceived, coordinated and moderated by BATW Program Committee member Erin Van Rheenen with Edward Hasbrouck, Catherine Boire, David Page, and Tom Wilmer.
