The Vancouver Sun
Internship Program
May – August 2011
The Vancouver Sun is seeking applications for its 2011 internship program.
The four-month program starts May 1 and offers fully paid reporting positions at Canada's third-largest English language daily. An internship at The Vancouver Sun involves full-time work on general assignment news across all platforms and includes investigative reporting, feature writing and video production.
Our interns are multi-platform journalists, equally comfortable preparing audio and video files as they are updating and filing to deadline for print or web.
Successful candidates will quickly assume considerable responsibility and must be efficient, hardworking reporters with sound news judgment. We are looking for creative, enterprising people - young journalists who take direction well, but who also can take the initiative and recognize story, photo and web opportunities for the Sun.
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 leading dailies to grow readership and help us to keep vancouversun.com the fastest-growing news website in Canada, please send a cover letter, CV and clippings marked “Internship” by Friday, Nov. 19 to:
