National
Geographic Magazine, the official magazine of the National Geographic Society
admitting to past racist coverage ("exotic natives", "noble savages" Our
magazine spent decades spouting racist stereotypes. It’s time to confront our
past, April 2018 issue) shows tremendous fortitude by the publication. Editor Susan

We take a leaf from Arianna

media images, in all possible formats, films, digital and print that better reflects our
world today and not allowing, accepting or endorsing prejudices, biases and stereotypes that
media has perpetuated in the past.
