National Geographic Launches Paid Digital Product, Promotes Griffin to New Digital Role

“National Geographic Interactive adapts the analog magazine to be more easily and logically experienced in a digital form,” reads the description of the new products. The publisher also promoted longtime director of photography David Griffin to the newly created position of executive editor, electronic publishing. Such changes at one of the most venerable titles may be a preview of the publishing industry’s future—and, in turn, the future of the images it uses.
