Skelton 1 Allyn Skelton Lynn M. Raymond UWRT 1102-E01 2723/2015 History and Demographics I received the two copies of National Geographic, one from 1964 and the other from 2014. The items themselves are interesting because it’s supposed to be the same magazine, but so much has changed in 50 years. I was surprised to discover that National Geographic’s first issue came out in 1888, I knew it was old but not that old. The research showed the gradual changes that were made per 127 years. It first had no pictures, then added some black and white ones in 1910, then fall color later on. The magazine itself has grown up with humanity technologically/o that it could bring the information to its subscribers. I sfffl need to do some research about these two copies themselves, rather than the history of the nfagazine as a whole. I'd like to take note of the different font size, advertising space, nulyper of pictures, kind of content, and other differences. Most of these changes are probably not very surprising, I’d expect that there’d be less content and more pictures in the newer version. The demographics might be a surprise to some, as the magazine has grown to have a global readership of sixty million people and thirty-seven languages. I still need to find the _ information for what the demographics and readdxship of the magazine was in 1964.
