History
XRay Magazine was founded on December 22, 2000 and published 40 issues. The final issue was released in August 2004.
The magazine was originally started, owned and operated by Stephen Novotni and Arie Vandenberg. Vandenberg left the project in 2002 and went on to produce the Cincinnati arts publication, Artspike.
Novotni continued to publish the magazine and focused the project on community participation in the media, liberal politics and alternative arts.
The magazine was closed due to mounting debt in 2004. Novotni made an attempt to carry on the XRay project and revive Cincinnati's first alternative newspaper, the Independent Eye, in 2005.
The new incarnation of the Eye was published online only through late 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
