About XRay Online Media

The History of XRay

XRay Magazine was a periodical that was distributed in Cincinnati, Ohio from December 22, 2000 through 2004. XRay was a free magazine printed in runs of about 5,000 to 10,000 copies every month. There were a total of 40 editions that were printed and distributed throughout urban areas in Cincinnati.

The original goal of XRay was to be a participatory media project. They wanted to eliminate the barriers between the editors, the writers and the readers. After the magazine ceased publication in 2004, they attempted to continue publishing the Independent Eye as an alternative newspaper in 2005.
