National Geographic produces issue focused entirely on Yellowstone

National Geographic chose to use one author, Bozeman resident David Quammen, to pen all of the main text. It is likely the first time one person has written most of an issue in the magazine’s 128-year history.

For the past two years, writers, photographers, map makers and editors for National Geographic have been working on an issue devoted entirely to Yellowstone National Park.

It was an unusual idea, created by former editor in chief Chris Johns.

"Yellowstone is the first park ever in the world, and as such in the centennial year of the Park Service, we thought that it represents something really huge," said Jamie Shreeve, National Geographic’s, deputy editor in chief. "We wanted an issue that was as big and impactful as Yellowstone has been for 150-odd years."
