Attention: The Lincoln Tab is looking for new writers to join its team
We’ll be meeting at The Swan on Monday 23rd September at 5pm
It’s official – we are finally recruiting new writers here at The Lincoln Tab!
There’s much anticipation surrounding relaunching The Lincoln Tab for the brand new academic year and the already existing team is so excited to expand ourselves and recruit new writers from a variety of academic backgrounds, all with a passion for writing.
If you’re looking to join us, we will be hosting an open meeting at The Swan on Monday 23rd September at 5pm.
These meetings will continue weekly all throughout the academic year and we will consistently post reminders about this on our Instagram and in our writers’ chat.
What is The Lincoln Tab?
We are the Lincoln branch of The Tab, a news company run by young people for young people.
The Tab has over nine million monthly readers and has no doubt been on your socials at some point. The national site covers anything from Love Island to university scandals to celebrity gossip.
If you join our writing team, you’ll even get a chance to write for the national site – something that looks great on your CV.
At The Lincoln Tab, we focus on everything and anything that Lincoln students would want to hear about. We also do fun quizzes and features articles, like here are the University of Lincoln accommodations as characters from Twisters. We also cover Clubber of the Week, as well as more hard hitting news.
We also have a big presence on social media, having TikTok, Instagram and Facebook accounts so if social media content creation is your thing, then there’s a place for you at The Tab.
Who are we looking for?
We are welcoming any Lincoln students to join us, from freshers to PhD students. Being part of The Lincoln Tab is a great way to make friends, and can provide a creative outlet besides your dissertation for third years. It also looks great on your CV and previous writers have gone on to work for BBC, Vogue, and even Tab HQ itself.
We want a diverse team who can provide different outlooks across the student community, and there is no previous journalism requirement expected.
We have a team of experienced editors, and our own fully-qualified journalist in HQ to help you get the best out of your writing.
We’re also looking for a new Features Editor and a TikTok editor, so if you’re up for the challenge, feel free to apply here.
What will you do at The Tab?
You’ll be able to write a range of articles from news to features, and you can write as much or as little as you want.
We’re always looking for new and exciting scoops so if you’ve heard something you think our readers would like to hear about, then you can put forward your ideas and see your story grow from a small piece of information to a fully fledged article.
We’ll also hold socials throughout the year, competitions with other universities, and there is also the opportunity to go to London to meet the national writers, as well as other writers from across the UK.
So, if this all sounds interesting to you, then come along to The Swan on Monday 23rd September at 5pm.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to DM us on Instagram.
