What does a career in the travel media look like in 2025?
Share your insights and win a lifetime subscription
A quick reminder — our annual State of the Travel Media Survey 2025 is still open, and we’d love your input.
This is more than just a questionnaire. It’s a chance for us to really understand what’s going on in the industry right now — from what travel writers are actually earning each year, to whether a full-time career in this field is still realistic. We’re also gathering data on:
The highest and lowest rates currently being paid for editorial and commercial writing
How diverse the industry really is
The strategies writers are using to safeguard their careers in the face of AI and climate change
Your input will help us create the State of the Travel Media Report, which will be shared with all subscribers (free and paid) right here in the newsletter. The more people who complete the survey, the clearer the picture we can build — and the more useful the insights will be for everyone working in travel media.
The survey takes no more than a few minutes to fill in — and as a thank you, everyone who completes it will be entered into a draw to win one of five free lifetime subscriptions to the Talking Travel Writing newsletter.
We’ll be closing the form at 23:59 BST on Friday, October 10.
