The New York Times on The Ezra Klein Show

I'm Daniel Adkison. I'm a travel editor at The New York Times. When you're on social media and you see a travel influencer talking about how great a place is, showing you beautiful pictures, do you know if they got freebies in exchange for promotion? At The New York Times, we get a lot of invitations to take free trips. We turn them down every time. We do not accept any discounts. We don't accept any free stays. We don't allow our writers to trade access for a good review. We need to maintain our independence to provide you an accurate picture and get the real story behind any trip that you're going to take. It's a big decision to choose where you want to spend your valuable time and money. We want to make sure that that trip is something that's worth it. If this kind of reporting sounds valuable, you can get it and so much more by subscribing to The New York Times.
