Local knowledge and language proficiency in Punjabi, Cantonese or Mandarin are assets, but not required.
If you are interested in working for one of the country’s largest-circulation dailies to grow readership and help us make vancouversun.com the leading news website in Canada, please apply including the names and daytime contact information of references.
