I think an article in a non-diving specific magazine like
freiesmagazin.de is worth the effort only if the same article can
subsequently also be published in at least one popular diving specific
publication. The license of freiesmagazin.de may allow that, but we
should check if we can find any relevant diving-specific magazin that
would also be fine with such a non-exclusive use.

Should we contact the editors of magazines like "Tauchen",
"Dive Inside", "Unterwasser" or alike and ask?
