One of the largest #nonprofit #science & #education organizations, the #NationalGeographicSociety, was founded on #ThisDayInHistory in 1888 to bring #geographic, #environmental, & #conservation knowledge to a wide audience. I had a print subscription for decades & still miss it.

💔 For Winter had been produced directly by the #NationalGeographicSociety ... it would be made widely available for screenings—in schools, for instance. In the audience, I pictured a generation of #girls and #queer kids watching For Winter and feeling a world of possibilities opening up to them.
What might have prompted these changes—Bartlett’s title, the scrubbing of For Winter? In the absence of details from National Geographic, it’s hard not to remember that in the hours immediately following Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, he issued several executive orders related to DEI both inside and outside the federal government. One of them in particular, “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” ordered all federal agencies “to combat illegal private-sector DEI preferences, mandates, policies, programs, and activities.” We know that this has already resulted in a retreat from diversity initiatives at companies like Google, Target, Amazon, and McDonald’s, and prompted military officials to delete from their websites (and then scramble to restore) both the Army’s sexual assault guidelines and Air Force training videos featuring the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots. The people who brought For Winter into existence are a mix of full-time Impact Story Lab staffers, who served mainly in various producer roles, and a larger group of contractors. (Only a handful of the crew members actually went up Mount Logan with Criscitiello, but it’s worth pointing out that those individuals risked their lives to make the film.) I attempted to reach more than a dozen of them, and some agreed to talk on the condition that they remain anonymous. National Geographic in all its iterations is an incredibly powerful institution, both a critical funding body for research or creation and a potential platform for films, photography, and other media, which makes it difficult for anyone in our corner of the industry to criticize or question it. Of the crew members who don’t work full-time for National Geographic, more than one told me that my message, inquiring about For Winter’s disappearance, was the way they found out that the film was gone. “The first I heard of it was from you,” said Steve Andrews, the sound recordist, nearly two months after the film was scrubbed. Andrews was one of the handful of crew who risked their safety on Logan. “Just total surprise, disappointment. It’s disappointing to see your work just disappear into the void … everyone would love to have Nat Geo on their credits.”

#OnThisDay in 1888, the #NationalGeographicSociety was founded, educating generations about nature & wildlife; #RupertMurdoch has added the magazine to his evil empire; how long will it still support conservation & inform readers about #globalwarming & climate change?
