One of the best magazines out there for sure. Started recieving it years ago. It takes you all over the world, and gives you such amazing articles and pictures. You really feel like you are traveling through it. I find this magazine broadens my spectrum on the world. It is so easy to forget about all the other places, people and cultures out there. This is an amazing reminder about all the amazing people in our world and the places they live. A great education.

In an era of declining journalism, National Geographic shines above all else as a benchmark for quality, and photojournalism. They have recently won multiple ellie's the equivalent of the Pulizer prize in the magazine industry.
Each issue includes one or two features articles from around the world. While the magazine contains advertisements, they have placed ads in the front and back of the magazine so that feature articles are not interrupted by an annoying, gaudy ad, a practice often seen in other magazines. The quality of the photos is simply amazing, the magazine uses a high quality paper to deliver a better reading experience. In addition, the magazine occasionally features large folded photos.
It is not fair that other reviewers, provide a lower rating for this magazine because it can be found cheaper elsewhere. National Geographic provides a lower introductory rate. However, once you get past the first year, subscribers need to pay the default rate of $34.

National Geographic is an awesome magazine, and I would not hesitate getting a subscription, but I would not get it here. If you go to National Geographic's website and click on the 'subscribe' link, you can get it for only $15 for 12 issues. Plus, you don't have to deal with a third party distributor if you order direct from the source.

For those of you saying $15 for a subscripiton on the National Geographic site. Go buy it, you will be very dissapointed when you get only ONE magazine..ITS NOT A SUBSCRIPTION, BUT A SINGLE MAGAZINE..for one, do you really think they would sell them that cheap, everything else they sell is expensive. For two, it clearley states that you get ONE magazine, ONE time.

National Geographic is a great resource. The photography is top shelf, and there is a good balance of natural science, archaeology and history in every issue. The articles themselves can range from riveting to mildly interesting - and the writing isn't as good (generally) as some of the other available magazines out there.
Having said that, it is a staple of learning, and I can say it first opened me up to a broader world 30 years ago as a kid - largely due to the pictures. Worth a subscription. You should, however, look at going direct to National Geographic - may get a better deal on the rate.
