Join The Tab’s editorial team and be a part of the student news site with thousands of Bournemouth readers

Say hello to [email protected] if you want to get involved in The Tab team for next term and have some fun!


With over 3,000 readers a month, The Tab is Bournemouth’s most popular news source.     

Now you can be a part of the team behind the hits. You should join The Tab because:

  • We’ve broken huge global exclusives this year, including the vote to ditch lads’ mags and student radio’s switch to FM.

  • We have a London bureau (OK it’s an office) staffed by former Tab writers who teach the dark arts of journalism.

  • They also land you work experience and jobs at places like The Sun, BuzzFeed and the Telegraph, not to mention Tab HQ itself.

  • Big dogs in the meeja have praised us, including the editors of BuzzFeed, The Sun and the Mail on Sunday.

  • We’ll invite you to our regular socials, our massive summer party and the semi-legendary Tab Christmas curry.

  • You don’t need any experience, we just want fun and enthusiastic people to join our team – we’ll make you a great journo, and give you a Tab t-shirt.

We have a laugh!
