Journalism and Media

Cambridge is one of the best universities in the country for student media. Cambridge is the perfect place to lay the foundations for a career in journalism, or just to get involved for fun. We have three major news outlets; The Cambridge Student and Varsity, which both have weekly print runs, and resident tabloid The Cambridge Tab, which launched online in 2009 and is just starting to print regularly. Whether it's news, features, reviews, opinion, sport or fashion that's your bag, all three are always hungry for writers, editors, photographers and designers. It's easy to get involved, and is a great way to build up skills, experience and cuttings in a dynamic and realistic media environment. There's even the occasional scandal. Cambridge publications are well-regarded in the wider world, and stories originating here often get picked up by the national papers. As well as the three biggest outlets, there's also a variety of smaller magazines and publications like Vivid (satire) and The Berry (political) as well as College-based media to get involved with. There is also CUR 1350 - the Cambridge University Radio station, regular winner of numerous national student radio awards and great experience for anyone interested in radio and broadcasting generally. Training is provided and if you are a budding DJ, broadcaster or sound engineer, you probably couldn't find a better place to get experience. Key Fact: Three student newspapers and an award winning student radio.
