In light of a current hashtag challenge, I want to share my experiences as a beginner photographer submitting work to National Geographic. There was a significant lack of clear communication about how my photographs were used for profit, and despite multiple attempts, I’ve yet to receive detailed information about where and how my images were utilized. They’ve provided only minimal information about instances they are “aware of,” demonstrating a disappointing approach to record-keeping. For new photographers, it’s crucial to understand the rights you might be relinquishing when submitting your work to such platforms. My experiences suggest a concerning lack of consideration for photographers’ rights by National Geographic. I urge caution when submitting your photographs. Furthermore, both the National Geographic Society and National Geographic have refused to provide the Terms of Service for their National Geographic YourShot program and have declined any external ethics review. This refusal to disclose where and how they’ve used my copyrighted work raises serious ethical questions. This situation has underscored the importance of demanding clarity and transparency when engaging with large platforms. I advise all photographers to seek platforms that respect their contributions and are explicit about terms of usage. Your work deserves recognition and protection, and you should be confident in how it’s handled.

National Geographic used to be a very respected journal. Now, they teamed up with Lindblad Expeditions. Once you subscribe to National Geographic, they sell your address to Lindblad Expeditions without asking for your permission, and you start getting catalogues of offensively expensive travel offers, tens of thousands of dollars per trip, from Lindblad Expeditions, and it is impossible to stop. Cancelled National Geographic because of Lindblad Expeditions spam. Called National Geographic for help to stop the spam. Looks like the spammers may be their partners. The frequency of spam got less but did not stop. Please, save your sanity and DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!!!

National Geographic violates the UN Charter in its maps. It produces false content that appears to be an attempt to normalize illegal occupation and annexation. In this day and age, it is utterly unacceptable to abuse the influence of a once reputable establishment for spreading false maps. International borders cannot be changed by force, and humanity has proven this in the second world war at an astronomical cost of life loss. Yet, here we are again!

I used to love Nat Geo's magazines and read stacks of old issues almost cover to cover back when I assumed that the content was genuine and scientific. The illusion first shattered when I discovered the "Dog Whisperer" TV show that masqueraded abuse as dog training, and saw that Nat Geo just ignored all the damning critique from highly educated actual behaviour specialists, who implored them to stop the show because it is 1. unscientific, and 2. likely to harm many pet dogs as viewers try to emulate Millan's methods from the popular show. Nat Geo continued the show year after year because the show is popular, and because science, ethics and integrity apparently does not matter... all the sciency gloss is just pretend

Probeer al 1,5 maand mijn adreswijziging door te geven via een formulier op hun website en ik krijg 0 respons. Echt bagger, want ik ben al verhuisd. Klantenservice is dus echt niet betrouwbaar.

Website experience is absolutely awful for updating/cancelling subscriptions. I can't seem to do anything online, and everything is handled through antiquated calls and/or emails. I've been locked into paying a subscription 2 years running because of failed cancellations, and can't even successfully change my address to get it changed to my new address.

There are many grammatical errors in the book. It doesn't mention a lot of exceptions. So the students have a lot of questions and it's really difficult for the teacher to handle all of them.
