Internet History

National Geographic turned exploration into an Internet ritual. From its first Webby win in 2001, the brand showed that discovery could happen anywhere with bandwidth. Photo of the Day and the Your Shot community taught millions to pause and look, making awe a daily habit. On Instagram, @natgeo became a globe-spanning gallery and one of the world’s most-followed brand accounts, turning photographers’ fieldwork into a scrolling masterclass. The work kept evolving. VR features, immersive apps, and podcasts brought expeditions into homes and schools; Overheard at National Geographic and the National Geographic App earned Webby honors, and in 2022, National Geographic was named Webby Media Company of the Year. From wildlife to climate, from Sudan to storm zones, its reporting made urgency visual and shareable, proving curiosity moved at Internet speed, and that exploration belonged to everyone.
