National Geographic magazine, after 135 years of in-depth reportage, is to lose its last staff writers.

I subscribed a long time, but the magazine got pretty dilute a long time ago; dropped it.
Anyway it's ironic that particular cover is being memorialized. While her face is iconic, as a young girl she did not want the picture taken and didn't appreciate being re-contacted by Nat Geo when they finally tracked her down many years later.
@b4cks4w I am not sure why I have to say this ... but the cover is probably the most memorable and recognizable covers for the purposes of running a story about NatGeo for the general public ...
@thewebrecluse Oh I get it. I think that's ironic.
That cover is emblematic of the problematic history Nat Geo had with some of their subjects.
@b4cks4w yes ok good riddance to NatGeo and their problematic existence then ... 🙄
