How to Subscribe to Martlet's Newsletter and Follow Its Updates

Updated

Martlet, the University of Victoria's independent newspaper, offers a newsletter subscription at martlet.ca/subscribe. If you want ongoing updates from the paper, that page is the direct entry point. Beyond the newsletter, the site itself publishes new articles across several sections, so you can also follow coverage by browsing the homepage or specific sections directly.

Subscribing to the Newsletter

The site lists a "Subscribe to Newsletter" link pointing to martlet.ca/subscribe. That is the only subscription channel named in the available site information, so treat it as the primary route.

To use it:

  1. Go to martlet.ca/subscribe.
  2. Follow the signup steps presented on that page.
  3. Confirm your subscription if the process asks you to (for example, via a confirmation email).

Expected result: you receive Martlet's newsletter and updates by email.

What the available information does not cover: the exact form fields, whether a confirmation step is required, delivery frequency, and whether any part of the subscription involves payment. The site shows a "subscribe" pricing signal, but no price or payment platform is specified in the material available here, so don't assume the newsletter is free or paid — check the page itself.

Following Updates Without Subscribing

If you'd rather not sign up for email, the site's own sections function as a running feed of new content. Based on the homepage listing, Martlet organizes coverage into these areas:

Section What it covers (per site listing)
News Campus and local reporting
Local News Municipal and regional stories, e.g. Saanich and Victoria elections
Opinions Op-eds and columns
Features Longer-form pieces
Culture Theatre, film, events, performing arts
Campus University-focused items
Humour Satirical or light content
Podcast – The Nest Audio content

Visiting the homepage or any section page shows the most recent articles with bylines and dates, which is the simplest way to track what's new.

Other Ways to Engage

The site's navigation also lists several non-subscription entry points that may be useful if you want to follow or contribute rather than just read:

  • Pitch your story ideas — for submitting coverage suggestions.
  • Volunteer — for getting involved with the paper.
  • Jobs — for openings at Martlet.
  • Advertising — for commercial inquiries.
  • About / Masthead — for who runs the paper.
  • Digital Archive — for past issues.
  • Meetings — for meeting information.

Choosing How to Follow

  • Want updates pushed to you: use the newsletter link at martlet.ca/subscribe.
  • Prefer browsing on your own schedule: check the homepage or a specific section (News, Local News, Culture, etc.).
  • Want audio: look for the "Podcast – The Nest" entry.
  • Want to contribute rather than consume: use the Pitch, Volunteer, or Jobs pages.

One practical note: the newsletter is the only subscription mechanism named in the available site information, so if email updates are your goal, that page is where to start. For everything else — reading, pitching, or volunteering — the site's navigation covers it.
