The Coventry Tab is looking for new writers!

Now that uni is online and clubs are shut, we’re all going to have a bit more free time on our hands. But don’t worry, The Coventry Tab is looking for new writers, meme-makers and social media wizards and we want YOU! No previous journalism experience is needed and you’ll be working with a fun and engaging team producing fun content and news that students care about.

Who we are

The Tab is a student news site with over six million monthly readers. As a student writer, your stories will be shared on The Coventry Tab Facebook and Instagram pages, to all Coventry students and the best articles are shared across all of our pages, and can reach readers all over the country.

We break the biggest stories on campus. We have published articles on students setting fire to their accommodation with an exclusive video. We tracked down the Coventry student posing as ‘Fake Taxi’. We exposed the Coventry University cricket group chat where they rated the girls they’d slept with. And we even interviewed Jason Fox, the face behind popular Coventry nightclub JJ’s.

Many stories originally published on The Tab have made national news including Warwick boys who made rape jokes in their group chat, the Coventry dodgeball team who wore anti-semitic slogans on their white t-shirt social, and the Cambridge student who set fire to a £20 note in front of a homeless man.

Why you should write for us

The Tab is a nationwide online publication with a bigger readership than other Coventry student papers, and will give you an insight into how modern media works.

The Tab HQ team are based in London and are always available to guide and offer any journalistic advice and training to help you develop your writing ability.

Previous Tab writers have also gone to write for big publications such as VICE, The Times, and Vogue. Earlier this year, former Tab student writers started jobs at The Telegraph and Cosmopolitan.

If you’re interested in joining us, drop us a DM on our Instagram or message us on our Facebook page.

We can’t wait to work with you!
