The Province is looking for students and recent graduates (within the past year or so) to work in our newsroom in the summer of 2012.
We need people with strong reporting and writing skills who can produce quick files for the web and build a story throughout the day. The interns will work for 3.5 months, replacing reporters on summer vacations.
We want applicants with strong digital media skills, including the ability to shoot and edit video and produce audio slide shows, podcasts and other packages for the web. We need people who can blog and reach out to audiences through Facebook and Twitter.
We want self-starters with a positive attitude who can work well on their own and as part of a team. The successful applicants will need to be strong multitaskers, able to manage in a fast-paced environment with frequent deadlines. Previous experience on a website or smaller daily or weekly newspaper is a requirement. So is a valid driver's licence.
The Province newsroom provides interns with a fun, welcoming environment and a great summer experience in one of Canada's most beautiful cities. Summer reporters are paid at our first-year reporter rate which is $1,038 a week.
Applications must include a resume, examples of your reporting, links to online work and references. Hard-copy applications should be sent to Ros Guggi, Deputy Editor, The Province, Suite 1, 200 Granville St., Vancouver, B.C., V6C 3N3.
Email applications should go to jfader@theprovince.com
We must receive your application by Monday, Nov. 21, 2011.
