The time of year you’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived: The Exeter Tab is looking for new contributors!

Writing for us is rewarding, flexible, and low-pressure. You can contribute as much or as little as you like, and it’s the kind of experience employers love to see. So, why not give it a go?

It’s a great way to boost your CV, share your opinions, get your writing published, make friends, or even just try out something new.

No experience? No problem. Whatever course you study, we’d love to have you on board.

As a writer, you’ll have plenty of freedom – whether that’s reporting on the latest Exeter news, or highlighting your favourite places around the city.

If you’re interested (and why wouldn’t you be) come to our open meeting on Sunday 28th September at 6pm at The Ram Bar on Streatham Campus.

But what exactly is The Exeter Tab, I hear you ask?

The Exeter Tab is part of The Tab, a national student news site with local teams at more than 30 UK universities, and nearly 10 million readers every month – meaning your voice will be heard on a massive scale.

Articles published by The Exeter Tab will be posted on our social media platforms which, combined, have over 34,000 followers.

Our Instagram has over 13,000 followers, our Facebook has 15,000 followers, and our TikTok is quickly growing with nearly 6,000. We create content in many forms, not just writing.

Writing for The Tab is a fantastic opportunity to build real journalism experience while working as part of a young, dynamic team.
