Abstract
One of the key aspects of travel journalism that has attracted some significant amount of scholarly attention relates to the field’s role in mediating distant cultures. This may be expected, as one of the key roles of travel journalism is to represented ‘otherness’, to explore other countries and cultures and to bring them home to audiences. If tourism’s purpose is to escape everyday existence, travel journalism’s role is to tell people about the variety of ways in which they can do that. Most approaches in this strand of travel journalism studies hail from the cultural studies tradition, have been conducted by tourism scholars and focused predominantly on the content of travel journalism, concerned with the end product and its potential effects on audiences.
