Interview of Spud Hilton of the San Francisco Chronicle about the shrinking world of newspaper travel editors.

Spud Hilton is the Travel Editor of the illustrious The San Francisco Chronicle, where he has written about, reported on and been hopelessly lost in destinations on six continents. While many media outlets are publishing less and less of it, Spud has been a tireless and outspoken advocate for great travel storytelling that entertains, inspires and transports readers.

Spud has earned 11 Lowell Thomas Awards from the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation.

Hosts: Leif Pettersen of Leif Pettersen PR and Chris Christensen of BloggerBridge.com and AmateurTraveler.com.
