National Geographic Day

Not every resident of the country has the opportunity to independently go on a trip. National Geographic Day is dedicated to the creators of the famous magazine who found a way to take readers on a virtual adventure. They collected the most interesting materials from all over the world to make the work richer and more truthful.

History

In 1888, a magazine called National Geographic appeared. It came out every month and quickly established itself as a reliable source of information. Small informative texts and bright photos in a convenient format attracted more and more potential buyers. They got to know the world by traveling virtually to different continents and getting to know their inhabitants.

Many nonfiction publications preferred to avoid wars and politics, but not National Geographic. Journalists allowed readers to face the truth. They studied different aspects of life in the United States of America, trying to show how the level of life differs in other countries. Particular attention was paid to environmental issues. They were brought to public attention. The magazine was also highly rated due to the high quality of the images and the beautiful design, reminiscent of a book.
