The Warwick Tab is a news site written by Warwick students, for Warwick students. There is no need for any past journalism experience – all you need is a story idea and a little bit of creativity. Anyone can get involved and write as little or as much as they want.

If you’re interested in writing for us, make sure to attend our first open meeting of the year on Wednesday the 5th of October at 2pm in the Lord Bhattacharyya Building Starbucks. You’ll find us with our brilliant white Tab T-Shirts and you’ll have the chance to meet our team of writers and editors.

Also, send us a DM at TheWarwickTab on Instagram if you’re interested. Make sure to follow us too, where you’ll keep updated with brand new articles and excellent on-brand memes curated by The Warwick Tab’s very own social media editor, Lia Mistry.

What is the The Tab?

The Tab is a student news site with more than six million monthly readers. The Tab is a national news site and is also spread across 30 different universities.

Writers for The Warwick Tab will get their articles shared on our Instagram and Facebook pages, with chances to also be shared on the national pages.

The Warwick Tab writes about breaking news stories on campus and topics that students actually care about. Last year, we covered stories such as Former Warwick Uni student on trial for leading Neo-Nazi group and Warwick mental health services named ‘unfit’ over student loneliness concerns.

The Warwick Tab also writes many fun features as well as news pieces. Last year, we also wrote fun articles like I visited TikTok’s favourite chip shop: Binley Mega Chippy and hosted a huge BNOC competition that brought in thousands of votes.

This means there will always be something you can write about – whether it’s a bit of fun or something more serious.
