Getting involved in The Oxford Blue couldn’t be easier.
As a training platform for student journalists honing their skills, we are committed to supporting new writers, but we understand that pitching to any newspaper can seem daunting.
What is a pitch?
A pitch should: explain what you want to write about and define your point of view. It doesn’t need to be more than a couple of sentences.
One of the easiest ways to get involved is to pick up a commission, put out weekly by our editors on the commissions pages, open to everyone.
We also accept pitches via email to editorial@theoxfordblue.co.uk, or visit the About section on our website to find the names and contact details of all our editors who always have their DMs open.
