We want YOU
The TabWith over half a million views in the last month alone, The Tab Bristol is the only place for you to get the latest campus news and gossip.
We’ve been bringing you all the must-know info for over two years now, from controversial Christian Union bans to cheeky naked calendars, and now it’s your chance to get involved.
In the last year we’ve broken massive stories including the bouncer who punched a drunk student in the face, and the Clifton residents who don’t want students to live there anymore.
We’re not just a source of exclusive news stories though. Our writers have interviewed glamour models and genocide survivors, produced stunning fashion pieces, and written argument pieces that have got all of uni talking.
We even took time out from the more serious stuff to try and help this girl get her jumper back.
It’s still not turned up 🙁
Writers for The Tab get to enjoy lots of brilliant opportunities that nobody else can offer you.
- See your story in the national papers
- Get help with your application to study a Journalism MA from people who’ve been there and know what a good application looks like
- Get work placements at the likes of the Mail on Sunday, The Times, and Buzzfeed
- Interview celebrities and local heroes and get your name on jaw-dropping original articles
Don’t believe us? Just look at our alumni, for a glimpse at what writing for The Tab can do for you.
You don’t need any experience to write for The Tab. You don’t even need to want to be a journalist. We just want fun and enthusiastic people to join our team.
Uniquely we have a London bureau (okay it’s an office) who’re on hand to help, so don’t worry if you don’t know where to start.
They also throw the biggest parties, which you’ll be invited to if you write for us.
We’re recruiting writers for next semester in the following areas:
- News
- Features
- Argument
- Fashion
The deadline is Wednesday, December 17th.
All applicants will be contacted within a week of the deadline.
To apply for a position, email [email protected] with the section you’re applying for and two ideas for Tab articles.
If you would like more information or have any questions, drop us an email.
