History

On August 1, 1941, the first issue of Die Matie student newspaper was published in Stellenbosch.

Distribution

8,000 copies of the newspaper are distributed on the main campus of Stellenbosch, as well as on the three satellite campuses, the medical campus at Tygerberg, military campus at Saldanha and business school in Bellville. Die Matie has an estimated readership of 16 000 students, staff and Stellenbosch residents. In addition to print the paper is also published electronically though an online archive.

Structure

With every edition of Die Matie a pre-elected editorial team member has the responsibility of compiling a supplement, either on: motoring, lifestyle, travel, science & technology and health. The editor of this supplement is expected to gather advertisements for the supplement (as ads pay for the printing of the supplement), the collection of editorial content, photos and for the layout of the supplement.

Financing

Although Die Matie receives a small subsidy from Stellenbosch University's Student Affairs Department, all printing costs and some of the office upkeep is covered by advertisements, which are the responsibility of Die Matie's advertising manager (also a student and member of the editorial team).
