Okay this wont be as detailed as it could be because i dont have acces to any National Geographic magazines at this moment. But i will do my best even though im not a fan of outliines.
Title?
I. Introduction
A. Of the many forms of travel and world informing texts designed to portray how small the earth really, two prominent forms of this information come to mind.
B. Thesis: Magazines and television really portray the wonders of the earth in the best light; particularly National Geographic and the Discovery Channel. ( Ill revise that A LOT in my rough draft)
II. National geographic
A. We are all familiar with this form of information, its been around for ages
1. an example of an old NG magazine and how the info was written/given
B. Pictures taken with flash photography
1. you can look at these for as long as you want and realy let your imagination flow
C. The articles are really well written and can be as detailed as they want to be about the specific location
III. Discovery Channel
A. Planet Earth
1. Shows the recent conditions of the earth and how amazing it is
2. For television, so a video camera is used
a. Only able to see brief glimpses of the information
B. Bear Grylls or survivor man?
1. the earth is showed as a challenge to overcome when stranded
2. taken by video cameras
a. some have complained about how he really isnt stranded alone ( may not be relevant if i dont work it in right)
IV. Conclusion

I think you should either broaden your scope for the Discovery Channel (i.e. talk about the channel as a whole) or narrow your scope for National Geographic (i.e. pick a particular issue or a particular story). The second idea might work better. I'm afraid it would be hard to compare an entire magazine franchise to one TV show. Also, structurally speaking, I'd like to see you discuss both texts simultaneously, instead of dividing them like this. You should divide and organize your paper based on your ideas for comparison instead of how you have it now.
