I did not mean to imply, David, that media coverage on dark tourism issues
was huge, but merely that it was growing. Although your google search
obviously dug up last Wednesday's New York Sun article, which I mentioned,
google rarely picks up on magazine articles. Here the current issue of the
BA Inflight Magazine, High Life, is a case in point. That dark tourism
gets more than just a mention, but some serious attempt at explaining what
it is for a general public (including a reference to Professor Lennon's
work) is surely evidence of growing interest in the media. Worth
remembering that High Life has a readership that very considerably exceeds
any UK national paper. For reference the article is on page 24 of the
November High Life. Anyway, for what it's worth...
