Contributor Guidelines

Contributors play a vital role in shaping X-Ray Mag's global storytelling. Our editorial style is rooted in clarity, factual integrity, and reader accessibility. This guide outlines style and format for both news posts and feature articles, including guidance on article structure, word count, image use, and how to submit.

Types of content

We work with two main types of contributions:

Showcase Your Brand at the Scandinavian Dive Show!

Together with the Swedish Fair in Gothenburg and the Boat Show, attracting 20,000 visitors over the weekend, the Scandinavian Dive Show will now return to the Swedish West Coast, the diving hub of Sweden.

Strategically positioned

Notably, Gothenburg is strategically positioned a few hours' drive by road or train from both Copenhagen and Oslo, making it accessible for the Danish and Norwegian markets. Additionally, it is a quick ferry ride away from Jutland.

At the Swedish Exhibition, everything is under one roof. Within the neighbouring Gothia Towers, you have several excellent restaurants to choose from. Swedish Exhibition also offers prime accommodation options for exhibitors, with nearby 4- and 5-star hotels for you or your long-distance business contacts to stay.

Scandinavian Dive Show to be held alongside Boat Show in Gothenburg

Dykmässan

Since its inception in 2014, the Scandinavian Dive Show (DykMässan) has been held as a standalone event. Come 2024, it will start a new chapter.

In its tenth year, DykMässan will return to Gothenburg, where diving in Sweden first took root. And with DykMässan teaming up with Båtmässan, visitors can now visit both shows with just one ticket.

Content Creation

In the ever-changing world of media, print no longer has the dominant impact it once enjoyed as digital mediums continue to seek new ways to attract audience attention.

Both marketing research and personal experience points to the fact that conventional methods are increasingly less effective, and pay-per-click and post boosting can be quite expensive and not always effective.

The emerging alternative is actually a new take on a proven strategy, tracing back to the old saying that “content is king.” In the digital realm, this means creating authentic, original stories that have tangible value to the audience.

The Internet rewards such content through both search and sharing, and audiences are far more likely to believe and respond to this type of content. This is where we excel.

Media information & Advertising

A writer paints a word picture and a photographer aims to tell a story with images rather than words. A Content Creator takes both mediums – words and imagery – and assembles them into elements suitable for a wide range of media products, from word-centric documents, image-centric posts, social media shares, audio and video files to searchable lists.

Contextual Advertising

Contextual advertising places promotional messages alongside editorial content related to the same subject, helping advertisers reach readers already engaged with the topic.

Contextual advertising

Contextual advertising allows companies and organisations to place relevant promotional messages alongside editorial content that relates directly to their products, services or destination. These placements appear within articles whose subject matter aligns with the advertiser’s offering, reaching readers who are already actively exploring that topic and helping them discover useful industry information related to it.

-- Sponsored message --

Here's 500 characters: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras ut nisl vel enim tempus vestibulum id a elit. Cras tristique diam ipsum, non dignissim risus placerat in. Sed ornare vitae nisl quis mattis. Etiam nec odio sed urna auctor laoreet. Aenean sit amet massa nec est dictum imperdiet. Suspendisse lacinia dictum consectetur.

 

House rules

Acceptance of sponsored placements is at the discretion of the editors at any given time. X-Ray Mag only accepts links that are relevant to our niche and originate from quality websites.

Why no contextual links inside editorial text? 

The main issue is that these links look like editorial judgement rather than advertising. That creates two risks.
