The Exeter Tab is looking for its new editorial team for 2022-23

The Exeter Tab is looking for a new editing team to take on the next year.

Applications are now open for The Exeter Tab’s editorial team for the academic year 2022/23.

The positions available are: News Editor, Features Editor and Social Media Editor.

Applications from students from all areas of study are welcome, and you’ll have assistance from the current editorial team and training from The Tab HQ to get you started. It’s a very impressive thing to have on your CV and really good experience if you’re looking to get into the world of publishing/marketing/writing. There’s also a lot of free stash….

You don’t need to have written for The Exeter Tab before, but as these roles are editorial, some experience in writing or journalism is encouraged. However this is not essential!

The roles include:

Features Editor

This position requires you to publish fun feature pieces. This may include a guide to the best sunset spots in Exeter, an explanation of the types of Exeter boys you’ll find on Tinder, or continuing Fashion in the Forum.

For this role, you must have an understanding of what is funny, interesting and relevant to the specific student audience at Exeter Uni.

The role allows you to be witty, opinionated and creative in your writing.

News Editor

This role requires you to stay on top of what’s happening on campus, and get news out quickly.

The position asks that you feel comfortable delivering news sensitively.

You must have a keen eye for new stories, and understand what is relevant to Exeter students.

You will receive individual training from the HQ team on how to write the best news stories.

You won’t be the only one writing news stories, and you can delegate stories to other writers.

Social Media Editor

For this role you’ll need an eye for memes and aesthetics. You’ll be responsible for  uploading onto various social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Facebook .

This will include sharing articles, creating Insta stories, putting out polls, finding and creating memes, uploading footage of events and making sure our student audience is always engaged and interacting with our channels.

This year The Exeter Tab will be launching its brand new TikTok – and you can be at the forefront of this.

This is a great position for those who want to see real audience growth, and gain experience in running social media channels (which looks great on your CV!).
