National Geographic is aligned with the trend toward more user-generated content. They have a space on their site called Your Shot that features many of the thousands of photos they receive. There are several online galleries to view selected photos and many are very good. They certainly have a global perspective. You can also see which user-submitted photos were published in National Geographic in the Top Shots section. It has an audio commentary for the photos that is very helpful for thinking about your own photos, as well as giving more context to the pictures. I really liked the lemons in jars on the site when I looked, as well as the commentary.
Here is the form to submit your photos.
