>>3402354You certainly don't know what you're talking about. Affiliated NG are extremely different than US magazines. They get maybe one us article, which will for sure be some expedition reportage, the rest will be filled with global area articles, and specific national articles. You can bet you won't see that picuThey're more like NG of old. Looking at it from editorial side, quality is still way back. I've been signed up for maybe a year, even had some work published in it, it's all far cry from quality that was published in NG in it's heydays.
I've a fairly big classic NG collection from 80's to 90's, and I know what they did previously. They were cutting edge, both in editorial and imaging department. They had the means and people to do some really engaging work. They'd send a guy to retrace crusades on a horseback from France to Jerusalem, and it was published as a sidestory. You had cutting edge reportage from Soviet republics, and they wouldn't stop and weaken from attacking anyone on environmental front. Now they run a vague environmental theme, but are ether afraid or prohibited from actually going after a specific problems. Fracking, land battles for oil in Canada, exploitation of Africa by western and Chinese business, faggots and slave trade in Muslim countries? No? They just run quick q/a on their site and explain the benefits and minuses of fracking, and call it a day. They're political stoodges now, talk big, do nothing.
