EasyJet Mag Hit Hard

by Gabrielle Hennessey

British airline company easyJet is scrambling to cover itself after it was revealed that a fashion editorial within the company’s in-flight magazine, easyJet Traveler, was shot in a location for which the publisher had not received permission: the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.
