The National Press Foundation doesn’t seem to think there’s a problem here
The Washington, DC-based National Press Foundation announced yesterday that they’re taking applications for an upcoming all-expenses-paid journalism conference called “Food, From Farm to Table.” The conference promises to “take a holistic look at the issues: hunger, food waste, organic, GMOs, food science, feeding the world’s growing population, and more.” That’s cool, if you don’t mind that one of its major sponsors is Monsanto, that the program includes a visit to the controversial agrobiotech company‘s research labs, or that this sounds a whole lot more like a press junket than a journalism conference.
