How the National Geographic Society could create a new blueprint for journalism
Our Newsletter
-
More than
440 people
want
John Fahey, CEO of NGS,
to break his virtual silence...
... and explain why our Society is:
• profiting from killing of endangered species
• self-censoring stories about China
• befriending autocratic thugs
• recruiting for India's army
• supporting a demagogue
• showcasing a profane provocateur
• losing itself in a virtual world
• fixating on Adolf Hitler
• marginalizing religion
• selling our Brand to a private equity fund
• letting News Corp ruin our good name
• and (unfortunately) much more.
