National Geographic magazine is currently celebrating its 125th year of publication with a series of special events and articles.
Photojournalism major coordinator Bill Bachman writes:
'As you venture further into the world of photography - no matter what your inclination or specialisation - if there is one publication you should subscribe to, this is it. How come? Well, if for no other reason, for the quality of the images and information it has brought to lounge rooms the world over since 1888. Throughout that century-and-a-quarter, it has had a major influence on visual communication; that tradition continues in new and different ways as digital technology broadens and speeds up the ways in which we interact as human beings on Planet Earth. Even if you never leave Planet Melbourne, you can still travel the world with National Geographic.'
