 National Geographic magazine launches Czech edition - 25-09-2002 - Radio Prague
National Geographic is known all around the world: as a society and a magazine it is valued for its high standards of scientific writing and photography, as well as its relentless exploration of life on our planet.
The stories in National Geographic, as you know, are quite long, and sometimes it will be difficult to get exactly 15 percent.
One of the reasons why it's such a special day in particular for the Czech Republic is because National Geographic was a symbol for a long time here, under the communist regime as well.

 Crying Fowl: Tale of Missing Link Embarrasses Scientists -- March 2000 Education Reporter
Last year, the National Geographic Society came across what it believed was a major scientific discovery - the fossil of a birdlike creature with the tail of a meat-eating dinosaur.
In its zeal to find the "missing link" between birds and dinosaurs, the National Geographic Society jumped on the "discovery" of "archaeoraptor." Without obtaining independent scientific corroboration that the find was genuine, Geographic guarded its secret until the fossil was "unveiled" last October.
The fossil was displayed at the National Geographic Society's Explorers Hall in Washington, DC, and viewed by 110,000 visitors from October through January, most of them schoolchildren.

"National Geographic magazine published a detailed review of sprawl in the United States in the July, 2001 issue.
Without defending National Geographic -- the sprawl article was about what one would expect for popular consumption -- I will say that the use of the US at night map to show the spread of urbanization (let's use a more neutral word) is not as inappropriate as is being alleged.

In a letter to National Geographic Editor in Chief, William L. Allen, he and Economic Development and Commerce Secretary Milton Segarra complained, "We are outraged at the unbalanced article." The letter goes on to accuse the Cockburn text of "bias" and failing to project "a balanced point of view regarding the Puerto Rican culture."
Before the magazine in its English or Spanish version was mailed to Puerto Rican subscribers, or became available on newsstands generally, the Geographic launched a website promoting the article.
This week, Herald readers can "sound off" with their view of the National Geographic’s representation of Puerto Rico in its March issue.
