Concrete

Concrete is the University of East Anglia’s student newspaper. Concrete is published both in-print and online every third Tuesday during term time. Compiled by a team of 40, Concrete is headed by Co-Editors-in-Chief Fiona Hill and Jamie Bryson for the 2024/25 academic year. Inside Concrete is Venue, our arts supplement, headed by Venue Co-Editors Lily Taylor and Sankavi Naresh.

Our alumni have taken their skills from Concrete into lots of exciting careers, including many who have gone into journalism - you can find out about some of them here!

Any questions, story leads, and press releases are to be directed to Co-Editors-in-Chief Fiona Hill and Jamie Bryson at concrete.editor@uea.ac.uk

How to write for us:

1. Firstly, buy your membership; it’s £4 and will allow you to write an unlimited number of articles for the whole of the 24/25 academic year.
2. Join our Writers Team here 
3. You can then join as many writers 'channels' as you across each section of Concrete/Venue.
4. Content Calls will be put out during the first week of each month for each section, or you can...

'Pitch':

A pitch is your chance to offer your idea for an article to a Section Editor; it takes the form of a paragraph or two and should include the following information:

1. A detailed description of the topic you would like to cover
2. If relevant, the sources you will be using
3. Your ideal word count

This should be sent to the relevant section editor, whose details can be found below (just type their name into Outlook or Team to get in touch with them directly).

We do not accept full length articles without a pitch beforehand as our Section Editors want to work with you to make sure the article fits their section; a fully written piece doesn’t allow for the growth and learning experience we would like to offer you as a budding journalist.

If you are interested in joining Concrete’s editorial team, keep an eye on our Instagram and TikTok for vacancies (mostly in May, with other occasional opportunities during the year). Any further questions or queries, please do get in touch with us via our socials, Teams or on the email listed above.
