2008's Worst Travel Media Moment Is...
As many travel publications revamped their web offerings--and a certain couple of sites were acquired by a media conglomerate--one travel media titan fell off the RSS readers of many of its fans, if the enormous commenter backlash is to be believed.
The Gridskipper gutting took pretty much everyone by surprise. When we first reported on it, we didn't editorialize, seeing as how we didn't know the inner workings of the competition for whom we have nothing but respect. But what we are sure of is that in the wake of the site's relaunch, we managed to pick up some great travel blog talent in Victor Ozols while alums Neal Ungerleider and Hunter Walker also wrote us some great stories.
At least G'skip was spared a smackdown from Arthur Frommer.
