National Geographic is a popular monthly magazine published by the non-profit National Geographic Society since 1888. The magazine has an international circulation close to nine million and is read by over fifty million people each month. The magazine is known for its distinctive yellow border, in-depth articles on wildlife and the environment, and outstanding nature photography.
National Geographic articles cover a wide range of topics, some political in nature and most relating to the natural world and its intersection with modern culture. A 2007 issue of the magazine featured articles on the founding of the Jamestown colony 400 years ago and its effects on the environment, a story about a slum in Mumbai, and an account of the proposed wall across part of the US-Mexico border.
The signature stories in this magazine are international in scope and timely with today’s issues. Even during the Cold War period of the 1980s, the magazine was dedicated to producing quality articles on the culture of the Soviet Union and China so that readers could better understand these societies. The magazine is also famous for its detailed maps of various regions that are so accurate that they have been used as a resource by the US government.
One of National Geographic’s most famous photographs is a 1985 cover of a young Afghan girl with green eyes. In 2002, the woman in the photograph, Sharbat Gula, was tracked down again by the magazine for another photograph, and she appeared in a television documentary. The National Geographic Society established a fund in Gula’s name, to which thousands of readers contributed, to build a girls’ school in Afghanistan.
The National Geographic Society publishes a number of other magazines in addition to its flagship publication, including National Geographic Kids, National Geographic Traveler, and National Geographic Adventure. The Company also owns a television station that produces documentaries on nature, wildlife and international culture.
