What 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.
Recent news stories for The King’s Tab have included the vice-chancellor’s salary increase, Keira Knightley and Ambika Mod being spotted on campus and the closure of Strand Greggs, which gained coverage in national outlets such as The Sun and Birmingham Live.
Our recent features include new years resolutions that KCL students should have and a guide to surviving depressive winter weather.
So, whether you’re into breaking the latest breaking news stories on campus or enjoy writing witty features, there really is something for everyone!
