As National Geographic magazine laid of the last of its staff writers, Nina Strochlic, a staff writer with the iconic magazine tweets, "It's been an epic run, @NatGeo. My colleagues and I were unbelievably lucky to be the last-ever class of staff writers -- certainly the coolest job I'll ever have, and possibly among the coolest to ever exist. Now onto the next thing! Open to all weird/fun/interesting ideas."

More than a century after it was first published, National Geographic magazine laid off its last remaining staff writers after a decade-long struggle to keep up with the challenges of digital publishing. The beloved yellow-bordered magazine that was renowned for its detailed content on nature and science, photography and panoramic layouts will also be taken off the racks in the United States next year, the Washington Post reported.
