What is the Nottingham Tab?

The Nottingham Tab is run by students, for students. The Nottingham Tab is one of almost 30 local university branches that form part of one of the UK’s leading youth media sites, with more than nine million readers a month.

The Nottingham Tab has a combined following of 35,000 followers across social media platforms, meaning that your work will reach thousands of students across Nottingham and beyond. There may also be opportunities to have your work featured on The Tab’s national site.

Former writers across The Tab’s student publications have gone on to write for the likes of the BBC, The Times, ITV, The Guardian, The Independent, VICE, Vogue, BuzzFeed and more.

Even if you don’t think journalism is the career for you, there are plenty of transferable skills you can gain from being involved, from writing to research, content creation, publishing, interviewing and editing – these are all valuable skills in many industries.

Editorial roles will become available next year in the spring, so keep your eye out, get writing/creating and join our team!

Come to our open meeting on Monday 21st September

Our first open meeting of the year is an informal gathering where you will get to meet our editorial team and ask us any questions you have about The Nottingham Tab.

Come along, bring your article/social media post ideas and meet our team.

We look forward to seeing you at the Playwright on Monday 21st September at 6pm!
