L’information géographique est une revue généraliste, elle aborde tous les thèmes disciplinaires. Une de ses originalités est de contribuer à la réflexion sur l’enseignement de la géographie en proposant des mises au point par la recherche. L’actualité disciplinaire et les évènements mondiaux sont privilégiés et traités synthétiquement dans des dossiers, des documents, et à travers la recension et les comptes rendus de sites Internet, de thèses et de livres.
