Navy News is the official
magazine of the South African Navy and is a glossy A4
colour magazine with a minimum of 36 pages. We publish six editions a year. As Chief of the
Navy's official mouthpiece we address issues of primary interest to
the serving members who receive the magazine as part of the benefits
of their Navy Fund membership as well as keeping other interested
parties in the wider Maritime Industry and Public Sector informed
about developments in the Navy. We also keep retired members and our
private subscribers in touch with the vibrant and colourful world of
the SA Navy.
Started
in June 1966 and running for a while as a 10-page black & white
newspaper, Navy News re-emerged in its current A4 format in 1982. In
1997 Navy News graduated from the old cut and paste proofing and
layout method and was laid out from start to finish in-house on
computer for the first time. Since then, the magazine has progressed
in leaps and bounds, providing a glossy colour window on the
ever-changing face of the Navy the People Need. Navy News has earned
itself something of an elevated reputation among similar magazines
internationally and as the top naval magazine in Southern Africa.

The production and
mailing costs of Navy News Magazine are carried entirely by the
subscription and advertising revenues raised.
Advertising in the
Navy News Magazine
Our magazine is a A4 glossy with a
minimum of 36 pages, produced every two months (6 editions per
year). Our No 6 (end of year) is often a bumper edition (which could
include extra pages, an insert or a calendar etc) should the first
edition of the year not include a calendar.
We have a regular print run of 6500,
which we distribute to subscribers and a number of maritime-related
institutions locally, nationally and internationally. Subscribers
include current SANDF members, ex-SANDF members, private
subscribers, foreign attachés and SA embassies overseas as well as a
courtesy list which includes heads of various Government
departments, libraries, our sister magazines in other countries and
other selected stakeholders.
Some of our advertisers purchase extra
magazines, which they distribute to business acquaintances, friends
and family and our hotel advertisers place copies in their rooms for
their clients. Back copies are placed in the SA Naval Museum and the
Naval a Public Relations department hands out backdated magazines
when they conduct tours of the Naval Base at Simon’s Town. Our
magazine is also advertised and sold at festivals and exhibitions.
Another factor to be considered is that each magazine potentially
reaches between 2.5 and 3.2 readers - giving us a total readership
of about 20 000 individuals.
Please note the option to place flyers
as inserts in the magazine – we can print them for you or,
alternatively, you can deliver printed flyers to be inserted in the
edition of your choice. Discuss this option with our Advertising
Manager or myself if this interests you.
Don’t hesitate to phone should you
require further information. Hope to hear from you soon! Have a
great day.
