The National Geographic Society is one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world. Its magazine publication and TV channel cover a wide range of topics, including geography, archaeology, natural science, anthropology and technology. The institution is known to strongly promote environmental and historical conservation, and the study and appreciation of culture from all over the globe. The National Geographic Society’s logo is a yellow rectangular portrait frame, which appears as margins on the front covers of its magazines and as its television channel logo.Since 2015, National Geographic's media properties, including its flagship magazine, have been operated under the joint venture National Geographic Partners, which was majority owned by Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox, with National Geographic Society maintaining a minority interest. In 2019, Fox sold its stake in National Geographic Partners, along with the majority of its entertainment properties, to Disney, who plan to make National Geographic a major provider for content on their Disney+ service.The magazine is the Trope Namer for National Geographic Nudity. | |

Mysterious Waif | |
| National Geographic (Magazine) / int_421e0f6a | comment |
Mysterious Waif: Real Life Mysterious Waif Sharbat Gula, called the Afghan Girl. She was photographed in an Afghan refugee camp. At the time the picture was taken, the photographer didn't know her name, and in 2002, she was successfully located and formally identified. Her photograph is the most recognized in National Geographic history.note And in case you're wondering how being moderately famous improved her life...it didn't. At the time the picture was taken, Gula was twelve and had just been driven from her home, so she was understandably pissed off. And when she was found in 2002 and asked how she felt about being famous, she found that it was hard to care when your husband was working for a dollar a day and your asthma made it hard to breathe within your own polluted city. | |

Diamonds in the Buff: One issue had a picture of a belt with huge gemstone beads and a quote from its creator, stating that he "imagined a woman emerging from the ocean wearing this belt and nothing else". | |

Bait-and-Switch Credits: This◊ infamous front-page article. The cover asks "Was Darwin wrong?" and the first inside page states "No." | |

National Geographic Nudity | |
| National Geographic (Magazine) / int_eaaf461f | comment |
National Geographic Nudity: The trope namer. There were frequent articles about tribes of people who wore little to no clothing and many people remember the photography of topless women that went with those articles. The media studies work Reading National Geographic found that, aside from choosing to represent areas of the world with images that reinforce specific themes (the Pacific islands are idyllic, East Asia is eccentric and a decade behind the times, African children smile when doing backbreaking labor, etc.), what nudity is permitted in National Geographic depends on who's doing it. African, Native American, and other "primitive" people get their naughty bits published, while European vacationers on a nude beach don't. And in a strange case of Race Lift, persons with borderline skin tones will have their skin darkened in order to be acceptably nude. | |
