What is The Liverpool Tab?

The Liverpool Tab is part of a larger student news site, The Tab, a news site curated just for students, with nearly 10 million monthly readers, and local sites at over 30 universities across the UK.

Articles published by The Liverpool Tab will be shared across our social media platforms which, combined, have over 38,000 followers.

Most notably our Instagram page has almost 10,000 followers and we have every intention to grow this over the next academic year. Our reach means your work can find its way onto the feeds of huge viral accounts, local venue and club pages, and industry connections that will become so important to your career in journalism.

We’ve also got our own TikTok account so if you would prefer to create video content alongside, or instead of, written content, we’re always looking for people to get involved.

If you’ve ever wanted to conduct your own on the street mini mic interview, then this is the place to be.

Over the last year, we covered a range of exciting stories, from entertaining news pieces like: Liverpool students call police after discovering mysterious intruder in their chimney and Guys, there’s a scabies outbreak in Liverpool right now – and apparently no student is safe.

The Liverpool Tab has delivered news pieces on the 23-year-old student jailed in Dubai after being caught in possession of cocaine, which has reached over 100k people across all of our platforms. If breaking news stories are your vibe, then you’ll be in the right place.

Our feature articles often reach thousands of views across the website and our social media platforms too. With The Liverpool Tab, you’ve got the chance to write hilarious guides and stories like: If you have these things in your winter wardrobe then you’re defo a Liverpool student and These student horror stories will make you never want to house hunt in Liverpool again.

We also cover important events and news on campus. Issues that concern or involve students, such as the encampments on Abercromby Square amidst the conflict in Gaza and last year’s Reclaim the Night march, are always at the forefront of our research and reporting.

Whatever you enjoy writing about, we have commissions and topics suited for everyone.
