Why does it seem we need a horrendous accident for common sense safety changes to be made? Looking back in history, two tragedies come to mind, which resulted in significant changes to safety protocols. One was the sinking of the Titanic and another, more recently in 2010, the “Station” nightclub fire in the US state of Rhode Island. It took the loss of 100 souls for the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to re-write policies, and issue new code provisions in 2006 for fire sprinklers and crowd management in nightclub-type venues.

When we tell a story, we relate to other people, and we seek to connect and bond with our audience. In this presentation, X-Ray Mag Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Peter Symes will talk about stories for magazine articles in particular and what sets them apart from books, newspapers or websites. Find out how to submit a dive article text and image files and what X-Ray Mag looks for in a dive story.
