As a writer/video journalist for The Cambridge Tab, you will become an integral part of the university’s thriving culture of student journalism, working on hard-hitting stories that are read/watched by thousands of people each month. 

Even if you know nothing about journalism, that is okay! All you need is a passion for storytelling or social media content creation, as you will received full support from the student editorial team and professional journalists at The Tab HQ.

Already convinced? Sign up using this form or drop by our open meeting on Friday. Everyone is welcome, provided you are a student at the University of Cambridge or Anglia Ruskin University.

If you’re interesting in applying for an editorial position, fill out this separate form before Wednesday.

What will you be writing and making videos about?

The best thing about The Cambridge Tab is how much scope there is for creativity. One day you could be breaking a huge news story, and the next day you could be filming vox pops across campus.

You’ll have to keep your eyes and ears open to secure news scoops and get ideas for video content. Who knows, you may even get a breaking story picked up by national publications.
