PDBY

Welcome to PDBY (Print, Digital, and Broadcast Youth Media)

The first issue of PDBY (formerly Perdeby) hit the streets in 1939. Today PDBY has established itself as one of the leading student publications in South Africa. The newspaper is tabloid sized and varies between 8 and 28 pages. PDBY is distributed in both print and digital formats on all campuses of the University of Pretoria. The digital version of the newspaper is available on http://issuu.com/perdeby with printed copies of PDBY distributed free of charge during the university term. PDBY print copies are distributed outside all the buildings on Hatfield Campus of the University of Pretoria, Groenkloof Campus, Onderstepoort, Medical Campus, Mamelodi Campus, as well as all the residences. All of the news that appears in the hard copy version of PDBY is now also available online along with extra news and inside scoops.
 
PDBY is also used as a development platform for young journalists through in-job training and a real newsroom work environment.
PDBY consists of four content sections namely news, sport, features, and entertainment. Other sections include copy, layout, multimedia, and visuals.
