The NYT travel writer policy should not include the 3 year clause. If they want no comps, then they should raise the rate they pay freelancers for articles. Staffers surely are able to expense it all and limiting to staff writer coverage restricts their publication’s world coverage and view.

Great points all the way around, Cindy. Thanks for taking the time to share.
While I think travel writers should not take comps from companies they are writing about, I think travel writers have a right to make a living.
That's absolutely reasonable, Bob! Thanks, as always, for your support.
