The Vancouver Sun is seeking applications for its summer 2012 internship program.
This four-month program runs from May 1 to August 31. Interns report to the city editor, filing breaking news stories and video on deadline, in print and online.

Local knowledge and language proficiency in Punjabi, Cantonese or Mandarin are assets, but not required. Preferred candidates will have some previous experience at a daily or weekly newspaper or website.
This full-time position involves evening and weekend work with variable hours and non-consecutive days off.
If you are interested in joining one of Canada’s largest dailies and working to keep vancouversun.com one of the fastest-growing news website in the country, please send your hard-copy application by Friday, Nov. 11 to:
