Probably their peak time.That is a shame. I didn’t realize it was in that bad of shape. This is one magazine that deserves to continue to be published.
No more topless natives?
I kind of agree with the other posters. To me, this became a real problem back in the Nineties...this woke agenda.
Same thing happened to Scientific American. I used to love that Magazine, had a subscription for years, and finally ended up cancelling it due to their overt political agenda.
Same thing with National Geographic. Use to read it all the time, and stopped in the Nineties. Now, when in a Doctor’s or Dentist’s office, if National Geographic is my only choice, I will twiddle my thumbs instead.
Probably their peak time.Circulation peaked in the 1980s. By the mid 90s it was half what it had been. It’s a tough world for magazines in general with competition from the internet for both readers and advertisers, and National Geographic was always an expensive mag to publish.
No, it deserves to go under. It has devolved into a political rag.
I don’t know about that. They have shown real agendas. For a good while.
No one is safe from the communist agenda. It is EVERYWHERE - and don’t let those bastards tell you any of them are “oppressed” or even suppressed.
No.
It doesn't.
It went "woke" before that was a thing.
It's not the National Geographic we knew in the 1970s.
It's leftist trash and it deserves to DIE.
Back in the day, that was a magazine I read cover to cover. The photos were always spectacular and even the articles accompanying them were worth reading.
That is a shame. I didn’t realize it was in that bad of shape. This is one magazine that deserves to continue to be published.

I disagree with your second sentence. “deserves”? On what basis do you make your claim?
Economics? Public Interest? Sentimentality (i.e., Emotion)?
There has been lots of great photography and stories over the years. But ....
It got all climate changey over the years. Before that it was a masterpiece.
National Geographic went full woke zombie:
