National Geographic Corporate Office

National Geographic, commonly known as Nat Geo, is the official magazine of the National Geographic Society. It has been published continuously since 1888.

The magazine was originally published for the founding members but now reaches more than 40 million subscribers, worldwide, each month.

The publication mainly covers the history of certain areas, remote corners of the world, ecological concerns, and scenery.

Full-color photographs began to be published in the mid-1930s and in conservative Muslim countries, pictures that might have scantily clad women or topless females in primitive tribal societies are often blacked out. Some complain that this destroys the artistic value of the photographs.

Nat Geo published an article in July 2020 which stated that in order to avoid another pandemic, such as COVID-19, humans must stop harming the planet.

Sports Illustrated Corporate Office

Sports Illustrated goes way back before it was published under this name in 1954. Two previous magazines had similar titles, with Sports Illustrated being published between 1936 and 1938, then Dell Publishing tried Sports Illustrated in 1949, only publishing 6 issues before closing.

It was the Time patriarch, Henry Luce, who had the idea of publishing Sports Illustrated in 1954, who believed that sports fans would be interested in the magazine. The magazine had a difficult time in its first few years. In 1960, Luce hired a new manager and editor, Andre Laguerre, whose writing impressed him during the Winter Olympics.

Laguerre organized writers into departments and hired professional cameramen to take full-color photos of that week’s sporting events. It was also Laguerre’s idea to include the now-famous swimsuit edition.

Today, the magazine is published monthly and is owned by the Maven Group. At the end of 2015, the magazine had a circulation rate of more than 3 million.

As the new owners in late 2019, the Maven Group cut staffing, giving approximately 40 persons a pink slip.

These job cuts prompted the remaining employees to consider unionizing.

The magazine did receive criticism when it allowed Christine Blasey Ford to attend an awards ceremony, giving her preferred seating in December 2018.

Cosmopolitan (Cosmo) Corporate Office

Cosmopolitan Magazine, known around the world simply as Cosmo, began back in 1886 as a family magazine. The first issue stated that the magazine would have one section devoted strictly to women’s concerns and fashion. By 1892, the magazine was selling more than 100,000 copies a month.

In 1905, William Hearst purchased the magazine. By the 1930s, the magazine had 1.7 million subscribers and an advertising income of $5 million. The magazine began to lose its appeal during the 1950s and by 1965, it needed new blood. Helen Gurley Brown was hired as editor in 1965 and she turned the magazine on its head.

Known for her liberal views on women and sex, as well as an avowed feminist, the magazine began posting frank stories regarding sex and advice for more modern women.

The magazine has, more and more over the years, featured very racy covers and some models wearing next to nothing. The magazine is published in 35 languages and in 64 countries. The magazine has found new life in the “discover” portion of SnapChat, where young women hope to become models for the magazine.

The magazine recently published its first male model in December 2019.

In November 2019, editor Jessica Pels reveals how she got the job and the worst advice she ever received (Say yes to everything).

Headquarters for Cosmopolitan remain where it was founded, in New York, New York.
