Join The Tab

Applications now open for the next academic year! Join Newcastle’s most popular student news site


With over 150,000 readers a month, The Tab is Newcastle’s most popular news source.     

We have a laugh

Now you can be a part of the team behind the hits. You should join The Tab because:

  • This term alone we’ve brought you Newcastle’s fittest freshers, told you where you belong in the Robbo and given you a front row ticket to the Matt Price gunshow.

  • We have a London bureau (ok it’s an office) staffed by former Tab writers who teach the dark arts of journalism.

  • They also land you work experience and jobs at places like The Sun, Buzzfeed and the Telegraph, not to mention Tab HQ itself.

  • Big dogs in the meeja have praised us, including the editors of Buzzfeed and the Mail on Sunday.

  • We’ll invite you to our regular socials, our massive summer party and the semi-legendary Tab Christmas curry.

  • You don’t need any experience, we just want fun and enthusiastic people to join our team – we’ll make you a great journo, and give you a Tab t-shirt
