This is a bigger deal inside the halls of Conde than out, but it points to a willingness to rethink the brand and for that we're thankful.
Conde Nast Traveler has changed its policies surrounding how writers and editors disclose their trips to travel providers, as well as pay for them, Skift has learned.
Since its founding in 1987, CN Traveler has pushed its "Truth in Travel" policy, of which a central tenet was that people contributing to its pages "pay the same prices you do and travel unannounced, except in rare cases where it’s impossible to do so," according to the mission statement online.
Editors at the magazine recently informed contributors that they may request media rates from travel providers while writing stories for the magazine.
