Aspiring journalists: Applications for The Warwick Tab’s 2025/26 editorial team are open

The deadline for submitting applications is next Thursday 1st May.

About the roles:

Editor in Chief

 Taking on the role of editor in chief means you will have the most responsibilities across the editorial team. You will be in charge of the direction of the publication, overseeing the other sub-editors and your group of contributing writers. 

You will be in charge of hosting weekly meetings, conversing with external groups (eg, the university, SU, and other organisations, depending on what stories are being written) and being the main point of contact with The Tab HQ. 

On top of this, you will help with editing and writing a range of stories, and working with social editors to make sure digital content is posted regularly.

This role needs serious commitment, but is also really rewarding.

News Editor

As News Editor for The Warwick Tab, you will be in charge of the news stories that are published. News is unpredictable and fast-paced, meaning you must be able to work quickly and efficiently when stories happen.

You should have a keen eye for topical student news: Think student-led protests, or getting information when a lecturer does something shocking that is worth talking about. 

You’ll be in charge of editing and publishing all news stories in a timely manner, with help from your editor in chief if needed.

Features Editor

For Features Editor, we are looking for applicants with the ability to come up with witty, creative and opinionated articles for our audience of Warwick Students. You will oversee and edit all features and guide articles for The Warwick Tab, as well as bringing ideas to weekly meetings to commission writers. 

An ideal Features Editor will be up to date with campus gossip and trends, creating niche and relatable content for our viewers.

Social Media Editor

The Social Media Editor will have the responsibility to create posts and stories for our Instagram. With almost 14,000 followers, it’s important to post regularly to keep followers engaged and keep up our brand. As well as condensing long form content into a post, you must be clued up about meme culture, on the ball to keep The Warwick Tab on trends, and be confident in front of the camera for video interviews.

Experience with Canva and other editing software is needed for this role for creating posts. 

TikTok Editor

Similarly to the Social Media Editor, our TikTok Editor must be up to date with online trends and Warwick Uni culture. You must also be skilled in various editing software to create our TikTok content, which involves recreating viral trends for our audience, making any long-form content into an eye-catching video and being confident in front of and behind the camera when conducting interviews for our platforms.
