Lithuania

Published under license from the National Geographic Society, the new Lithuanian edition, like the magazine’s 31 other local-language editions, will follow closely the editorial content of the English-language original. It will be printed in Lithuania and produced to the exacting standards of the Society, in the same format, with the familiar yellow-bordered cover.

“It is a tremendous pleasure to work with Arvydas Andrijauskas of Alma Littera, who is a wonderful partner in helping us share National Geographic magazine with Lithuanian readers,” said Terry Adamson of National Geographic. “We are excited about this opportunity to grow the National Geographic magazine brand and further expand on the mission of the National Geographic Society to inspire people to care about the planet.”

Andrijauskas, managing director of Alma Littera, has built the company into a publishing powerhouse in Lithuania. In publishing National Geographic magazine, he says, “National Geographic has the highest quality standards. It is an honor for us to publish this magazine and to provide our readers with the joy of knowledge. I have no doubt that National Geographic will have the full attention of people who are interested in culture, nature and geography.”
