Activate Media is the new website for Activate, which was once the official student newspaper at Rhodes University in Makhanda / Grahamstown. The website is updated frequently and has long since taken over from the print publication as the primary news source.
Advertisers can use the student website site for web banners and social media posts.
Following some understandable disruption during the “lockdown years”, it is once again updated frequently and enjoys growing social media support.

The website had a rebranding and domain name change from activateonline.co.za in 2019. It also features content in isiXhosa, reflecting its position as a community news source in the Eastern Cape.
In it’s earlier incarnation it used to produce a regular student newspaper, with the last edition coming out in 2015.
