The Safrea MediaHub is an independent online media platform, with a subscriber-based newsletter, that was established to showcase and promote the members of the Southern African Freelancer’s Association (Safrea), and to add value to their professional competencies. The content is created and/or curated by members of Safrea. It encompasses all media content: copy, visual, and sound.

The website has an associated newsletter, called the Chronicle, an opt-in e-mail newsletter that distributes the latest work.

The newsletter and the website are intended to be a publication platform for Safreans; a shop window for their work; a testing ground for new ideas; a portal for the reader to find content they might not find anywhere else; a mentoring project for newcomers; and a focus on more unusual and less-accessible media. It adds value to the work of any Safrean.

There are creators, there are columns, there are opinions, there is multi-media, and they will cover as broad a range of topics, subjects, formats, and media types as possible.

We hope to entertain, inform, edify, educate, and amuse.

* Any views and opinions expressed in the Chronicle are solely the responsibility of the individuals in their personal capacity, and in no way do they necessarily reflect the views of Safrea or the views of any members of Safrea.
