The Tab is a university news network run by people who like being first. We have teams of writers at leading universities in the US and UK, breaking stories and shooting videos that are seen around the world.

We were founded by three undergraduates at Cambridge University in 2009 as a reaction to out-of-touch student newspapers. Since then, The Tab has grown into a global movement of bold, fearless and entertaining journalists reaching millions of readers every month. 

Last year our scoops appeared in The New York Times, BuzzFeed, the BBC, and pretty much everywhere else. Reporters from those organizations call our journalists when they want to know what’s happening on the ground. 

Our local teams are run by student editors who decide what to cover and how to cover it. They are supported by people who used to do their job – our editing staff who work at The Tab’s headquarters in London and New York.

We hire our best people when they graduate, and so do some of the world’s leading media companies. Ellie Pithers, one of our first editors, is now Fashion Features Editor at British Vogue, and dozens more Tab graduates are working for companies like Reuters, VICE, the BBC, BuzzFeed and the Daily Mail. Soon Tab alumni will be running the media.
