| Abstract: | English-language geographical magazines present very different geographical imaginations to their readers than those portrayed
by academic geographers, with whom the editors and publishers of those magazines have very little contact. There is a mutual
lack of appreciation—which could have substantial consequences for the academic discipline. To increase academic geographers’
appreciation of the popular geographies being portrayed, the contents of recent volumes of three magazines—National Geographic, Geographical, and New Zealand Geographic—are distilled, with their major themes identified. One clear conclusion is that there is virtually no contact between the
two imaginations: popular geographical magazines almost entirely ignore the work of academic geographers. |
