A partnership between the University of the Free State (UFS) and SUN MeDIA Bloemfontein, a company of AFRICAN SUN MeDIA Holdings, was recently launched on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein. SUN MeDIA is established as an academic publishing company. This company also has a digital printing and binding plant for on-demand production of books and other products. SUN MeDIA’s technology makes it possible to publish niche and specialist research titles that would probably not have been published in the traditional publishing environment.
