TheRabbit University of Essex Student Union Newspaper LOGO
The Rabbit is the newspaper for students by students, and there's a new issue out every other Friday. It is an excellent platform for anyone wanting to have some fun, launch a media career or merely make their CV stand out a little. You can write news, write sports reports, features on current issues, comment pieces on all the more relevant issues, review music and films or even have a go at designing it or taking photographs to accompany the articles! We provide opportunities to help in design, using industry standard software (Adobe Creative Suite). theRabbit is an excellent way to gain work experience if you are hoping to work in journalism, PR or design, and it's not all work - you also get the opportunity to join a fun, diverse and friendly group of students with frequent socials and great team interaction.
