Ready to kickstart your student journalism career? Come write for The Warwick Tab!

Are you interested in covering campus news? Maybe gossip or trends around uni that everyone is talking about? Do you want to be involved in serious discussions about the university and lighthearted guides on all things Warwick Uni?

If that sounds like your thing, The Warwick Tab is always looking for fresh writers to join the team, no matter your experience level. This is your opportunity to work with an amazing team, where your stories will be published online and get thousands of reads.

The Warwick Tab is a news site written by Warwick students, for Warwick students. Anyone can get involved and write as much or as little as they want. There’s really no pressure and it’s so easy to balance with regular uni work.

If you’re interested in writing for us, make sure to attend our first open meeting of the term on Wednesday 31st January 3:30pm at The Dirty Duck near the Piazza. You’ll find us dripped out in our white Tab T-Shirts and you’ll have the chance to meet our team of writers and editors (and maybe snatch a free T-shirt from us too).

What is The Tab?

We also write fun pieces like The official freshers’ guide to every single Warwick Uni student hall and their vibes and We’re back! Here are six more of Leamington Spa’s best dinner date spots. This means there will always be something you can write about – whether it’s a bit of fun or something more serious.

Even though you’ll be writing for The Warwick Tab, The Tab’s national team works closely with us. The national team is run by experienced journalists who are always there to offer advice and help on any pieces you are working on.

Writing for us will be an amazing opportunity to get personal advice and build connections with real journalists who will help you with your writing along the way.

If you’re more geared into the social media side of things, you can come have a chat with our Instagram editor Tala Ahmadi, and Tiktok editor Maya Hill who curate memes, video guides and general entertaining content for us.
