Geographical: the Royal Geographical Society Magazine

In my opinion, this is the best Geographical magazine around. The images are as good as they come, the articles are amazing. The style is popular enough so that everyone can read them, and they have enough information so that everyone will learn something from them. Every issue has some biographical articles, some on recent expeditions, some on nature, some historical, and plenty of book reviews. In short, this magazine gives you a little bit of everything. What I really like about it is that it does not shy away from contorversial or serious issues. Here we can read about unkown genocides, natural disasters, or climate change. Geographical does dare to take sides in political issues. It is not for someone that is only out for a leisurely read. It is for us who want a leisurly way to keep informed!

I knew the magazine wouldn't be unbiased, but I wasn't expecting it to be so totally overun with global warming propaganda. I expected a lot of articles to have a slant towards conservationism and environmentalism, but it seems this one issue permeates almost the whole perspective. It's ultimately nothing more than a pretentious advocacy rag. Journalism becomes irresponsible when it passes over meaningful information and facts to deliver nothing more than an appeal from subsequently uninformed perspective. I give it two stars because about 1/10th of the articles are actually interesting and it's not totall overrun with advertisements, most of which are relevant or related to global travel.
