Summer 2012
The National Post is recruiting young journalists to work in our newsroom in Toronto next May through August.
We have openings for reporters in news, business, arts and sports. These are paid positions.
I am particularly looking for people with a demonstrated ability to cover hard news who can turn a story around quickly on deadline.
Post interns also work with web editors to keep our site fresh by providing regular updates on breaking and evolving files through the day via Wordpress, ScribbleLive and Twitter. This is in addition to filing for the next day’s paper.
Most important, I am looking for self-starters brimming with story ideas. If you are invited to an interview for a summer job at the National Post, please arrive ready to pitch a couple of great stories.
Also useful:
• An ability to speak and read French is an advantage.
• A car is not required, but a driver’s licence is helpful.
• A previous summer job at a newspaper grabs my attention.
To apply, email your cover letter, resume and four clippings demonstrating the range of your writing to:
Summer@nationalpost.com
c/o JOHN RACOVALI,
Assistant managing editor,
The National Post
Deadline for applications: Saturday, Nov. 26, 2011
NOTE: Please indicate your preference (news, business, arts or sports) in the subject line of your email.
