🗞️ WELCOME TO UOL PRESS 25-26 🗞️
We run the University of Leicester's independent, student newspaper - the Ripple.
Have you got an eye for spotting stories? Are you, like us, naturally nosy and keen to spill secrets? If yes, then you've come to the right place.
There are so many reasons to join the student paper. It boosts your CV, gets you stuck into uni life and helps you meet new people while building skills you’ll actually use.
We’re always looking for writers, editors, photographers and people with graphic design or social media experience. But more importantly, we’re passionate about helping you learn. No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to help us create great journalism.
We meet every week on Tuesday at 4 pm; for more details, feel free to drop us a dm at @uolpress.soc :)
