Negative Positive
Title: Natgeo suffering from global warming.
Review: Haven't really read the magazine for 20 years or more, but I was very impressed by some of the offerings on their cable t.v. channel, and equally impressed by amazon's fine subscription deal. Frankly, the issues I've received are very disappointing. Not just because they blindly follow the new style of news magazines (glitzy but shallow), but also their voluminous advertising. The issues are much slimmer and less technical than those of older volumes, the maps less informing, and everything touched with sensationalism. In short, they've become "big business", and when the subscription expires, that will be it for at least another 20 years.In short, National Graphic has regrettably shifted its focus from its journal to its films. Which is great for the films, of course; but lamentable for the magazine's quality.
Is the review positive or negative?
