De Derde Dinsdag: Machiavelli’s Members’ Magazine
The magazine’s name translates to “The Third Tuesday” in English. It is named after “Prinsjesdag” in September, which is the day that the Dutch Government announces their budget plans for the upcoming year. With themes such as Metamorphosis and Muse, the magazine aims to be a space of personal expression, creative endeavors and all things relating the association! The magazines often include things like opinion articles, interviews, poetry, association related articles, games or quizzes, and much more.
Discorsi Newspaper
After disappearing for a few years, Discorsi was reintroduced as a space for our community to explore and express political opinions. Discorsi is our Political Science Newspaper; a platform for political journalism on the topics our members are passionate about.
Both Discorsi and De Derde Dinsdag can be found as online editions on this website as well as in printed copies that can be found in the Machia Room (B1.07).
The Committee
De Derde Dinsdag and Discorsi are made by the Magazine Committee, where creative minds of Machiavelli come together to write, design, draw, or edit. If that sounds like you, or you want to learn and gain experience as a journalist, editor or designer of a magazine, this committee is for you!
Writers are given the freedom to choose what they want to write about, be it their experiences as students and members of the association, or articles on serious political, economic, or cultural topics. Designers in the past have used their creativity to come up with amazing comics and other illustrations. Editors are responsible for the layout of the magazine, its promotion and distribution, as well as content regulation.
To apply, send a 150 motivation letter and a piece of (any kind of) writing to secretary@svmachiavelli.nl.
If you have any further questions or want more information, send an email to secretary@svmachiavelli.nl.
