The King’s Tab is officially looking for new writers to join the team, and we want you! Whether you’re an aspiring journalist or just looking for a new skill to add to your CV, this is the place to be.
We’ll be hosting an open meeting at The Vault on Strand Campus on the 2nd of October at 5pm, where you’ll be able to ask any questions, claim pitches, and meet our new editorial team.
These meetings will continue every two weeks throughout the year, and we’ll be posting the time and location for future socials on our Instagram – so do keep an eye out!
What actually is The Tab?
The Tab is a national youth site covering everything from fun features to breaking news stories. We’re written for students, by students, and almost every major city in the UK has its own university Tab branch, including Edinburgh, Manchester and Exeter.
You’ll get the opportunity to uncover the biggest campus scandals, and some of the stories we’ve written this year include:
- Student calls out King’s College London for giving her the wrong grade three times
- Revealed: King’s College London’s annual security spend exceeds £15 million
- Breaking: Van crashes into people outside Bush House at King’s College London
Not into news? No problem, because we also cover fun features about anything and everything King’s:
- Here’s what the different Taylor Swift eras would study if they went to King’s College London
- From 9ams to Guy’s Bar: Here’s propaganda we’re NOT falling for at King’s College London
- How to lose a guy in 10 days: KCL edition
Why should I join?
As a writer for The King’s Tab, your stories will be read by thousands of students every month. One of our most read stories got over 26,000 page views in the space of a week, so it’s the perfect opportunity to get your work out there.
The best part? No experience or application process is required. All we ask is that you have a passion for writing, as our editorial team work closely with an Assistant Editor at The Tab’s HQ in London.
You’ll be trained up by the King’s team, as well as Tab journalists, who offer guidance throughout the writing process. Writing for The King’s Tab is also super flexible too; there’s no pressure to write a certain amount of articles per month, and you can write around your deadlines.
If that doesn’t sound amazing enough, previous Tab alumni have gone onto work at national newspapers and magazines including The Times, The Evening Standard, The Independent, The Daily Express, The Telegraph, Vogue, Cosmopolitan and more. Even if journalism isn’t the route for you, writing for The King’s Tab provides you with so many skills to set you up for a future professional career.
