The first issue of National Geographic Magazine was published in 1888, just nine months after the Society itself was founded. The Hallmark of National Geographic, reinventing it from text-oriented entity closer to a scientific journal, to a magazine famous for exclusive pictorial footage, was its January 1905 publication of several full-page pictures made in Tibet in 1900?????1901 by two explorers from the Russian Empire, Gombojab Tsybikov and Ovshe Norzunov. The June 1985 cover portrait of 13-year-old Afghan girl Sharbat Gula became one of the magazine's most recognizable images. In the late 1990s and 2000s, prolonged litigation over copyright of the magazine as a collective work in Greenberg v. National Geographic caused National Geographic to withdraw from the market a digital compilation of all its past issues of the magazine.
Two different federal appellate courts have now ruled in National Geographic's favor in permitting an electronic reproduction of the paper magazine. National Geographic is expected to release a new electronic version of the magazine's 120 year archive sometime next year. In 2006, National Geographic writer Paul Salopek was arrested and charged with espionage, entering Sudan without a visa, and other crimes by the Government of Sudan while on assignment for a feature article. After National Geographic and the Chicago Tribune, for whom Salopek also wrote, mounted a legal defense and led an international appeal to Sudan, Salopek was eventually released.
