Cambridge Tab under new management

Meet the editorial team for the Lent 2016 incarnation of The Cambridge Tab.

The Tab is run by a separate editorial team each term. Our section editors edit articles and commission pieces for students who believe in themselves enough to actually want their articles to be read.

If you want to get published in a newspaper that’s averaged 600,000 views per month over the past year, get in touch with the relevant editors below either via email or Facebook, come to our writers’ meetings when term begins or join our writers’ group. We especially encourage you to write if you plan on applying to the editorial team next term.

In particular, email:

• [email protected] if you’d like to try writing some news pieces. This is the easiest way to get involved with The Tab and practise your writing style.
• [email protected] if you’re feeling particularly angsty about something and need to say it to a mass audience. We encourage this. It will be cathartic.
• [email protected] if you’d like to have a go at doing a features piece (e.g. Tab Tries, Cambridge Room 101, Tab Guide etc.)

We also encourage you to contact our News Editors if there’s a story you think should be investigated or you want to make an anonymous tip-off.
