Attention: The Glasgow Tab is looking for new writers to join our team!

The Glasgow Tab is looking for new writers to report on serious local news, chaotic happenings and fun features, and we are looking for talented local student writers to become part of our team.

We are hosting our first open meeting of 2025 at Hillhead Book Club on Wednesday 29th January at 4pm!

So, what is The Glasgow Tab?

As part of a nearly 30-strong university network, The Glasgow Tab is written by students, for students, all about the key moments in this great city that so many of us are lucky to call home.

Writing for us requires no prior journalism experience, but you’ll need to have a passion for hunting down those important stories, and a desire to drive out the best content from Glasgow’s corner of the internet.

And you’ll not be alone; The Glasgow Tab is Glasgow’s branch of The Tab, a national news site which sees over nine million readers per month.

Interesting things are always happening across this incredible city so we take on the responsibility of bringing them to the attention of students at all Glasgow-based universities. We also write fun pop culture pieces, tapping into student life with fun articles young people love to read.

We promote our stories as much as possible across our Instagram and Facebook pages, with over 25,000 followers across both platforms!

Covering all aspects of student life in Glasgow is important to us so if you feel you can bring under-represented views from any local university to The Glasgow Tab, please join us!

We all know that the most daunting part of job-hunting is padding out that CV. Writing for us gives you not just the experience and skills to tackle the world of work, but also the opportunity to tell employers that you are a published writer.

Students are at the heart of what we do, so writing for The Tab will always be flexible around work, deadlines and social lives, with you contributing as much or as little as you want.

A lack of experience is also no problem for us, as you’ll work alongside our editorial team and our Assistant Editor over at The Tab HQ to improve your writing and really build the skills needed to be an excellent reporter.

In the past, The Tab’s writers have gone on to work for The Times, The Telegraph and Vogue. Even if journalism isn’t in your future, writing for The Glasgow Tab provides so many skills that set you up for your professional life.

You’ll also get the chance to write for the national site, and maybe even visit HQ’s writers in London too, who host events such as curries and karaoke.

How can I join?

We’re having an open meeting at the Hillhead Book Club on Wednesday 29th of January at 4pm!

Applicants from all Glasgow universities are welcome, and we encourage you to bring ideas for articles and social media posts. The only prerequisite is that you’re a student for the full academic year.

Come along to meet the editorial team that’ll be supporting you during your time at The Tab, and get to know your fellow writers!
