Fair use rationale
It is believed that this image, Nat_geographic_world_premier_edition_cover.jpg, is subject to fair use in the article National Geographic Kids because:

1. This image is used to represent the magazine and illustrate how it looked at its publication in September 1978.

2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).

3. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.

4. This image is used on various websites, and in several books, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.

5. The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.

6. No free or public domain images have been located for this item.

Summary
This page is being uploaded under the rationale that its use in a specific Wikipedia article about the magazine constitutes fair use. The cover is from its premier edition.
