Newspaper boycotted for honesty
Year Published: 1989Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX3680 Abstract: Canada's 13 largest travel tour operators have been boycotting The Toronto Star newspaper, refusing to place ads in the newspaper until the paper agrees to stop publishing what they call "negative" travel stories. The protest began December 31, 1988, after The Star published an article which related complaints by vacationers about food and accommodations in the Dominican Republic, and another article which focussed on the humorous experiences of a Star editor in hurricane-struck Cancun, Mexico. |
