Following my post about the Travel Blogcamp 08 there’s a heated debate going on on the Travel.net site about the respective roles of bloggers and PRs that is worth a read.  While the posters all have a travel industry background the views and experiences, concerns and misconceptions are valid, whatever industry you work in.

As I mentioned in my earlier post the travel industry has got a vibrant and cohesive blogging community and the discussion being had on Travel.net is one that all industries will face as they look to make sense of social media and blogging.  This discussion will help increase understanding of how both sides can work together for the benefit of readers and avoid both sides treading on too many toes.
