Oh, that's sad.

I have really enjoyed articles from that publication for many, many years, although always via someone else's subscription.
First introduced to it at school !

The magazine apparently isn't going away - it'll still be sent out monthly to 1.8 million subscribers, though they may start to find it's no longer worth subscribing to.

Departing staffers said Wednesday the magazine has curtailed photo contracts that enabled photographers to spend months in the field producing the publication’s iconic images.

Sad.
My Dad has a subscription for a few years.
There was always a copy or two in the smallest room.

When we were kids they used to have copies of NG in the waiting room and we would scour them for photographs of topless women natives .

I seem to recall they had very strict rules for their photography.

It used to be something to aspire to, to have an image or series published in NG.
