The Tab

The Tab is a youth news site published by Tab Media Ltd. It was launched at the University of Cambridge and has since expanded to other universities in the United Kingdom and in the United States and Canada. The name is both an abbreviation for 'tabloid' and a nickname applied to Cambridge students (from 'Cantabs'). The Tab's network consists of one main national site and an individual subsite for each university. The vast majority of stories are produced by students, with a student editorial team for each subsite. Professional editors in the Tab's offices in Shoreditch and Williamsburg offer guidance and editorial insight to their students teams, as well as writing for the site on a regular basis.
