The
Globe and Mail is looking to hire reporters, web editors, copy editors, a
photographer and a page designer for the summer of 2013 in its Toronto office,
as well as one reporter-editor for its Vancouver office. These are fully paid
12-week summer jobs and not internships. We hire students, freelance writers
and editors, as well as experienced journalists from other organizations.
The
Globe and Mail has won more national journalism awards than any of its Canadian
competitors, has been honoured internationally for its world-class website, and
has captured two Emmys for video projects, so we need the best journalists to
replace our regular staff when they go on vacation.
Even
though these jobs are just for the summer, the program is a great way to get
your foot in the door at The Globe and Mail. We have hired many future senior
editors, reporters, online editors, foreign correspondents and columnists
through our summer program.
We
are looking for people who are ready to work at Canada’s national newspaper and
who have previous journalism experience _ whether at a school paper, a Canadian
daily or an online organization. We want people who have a true passion for
journalism, great drive combined with common sense, and an ability to step into
and be a full part of Canada’s best news organization. A university/college degree
or advanced studies in other areas is an asset. FYI: If you have no journalism
experience through a school, freelance, regular blog or other organization, you
probably won’t make it to the interview stage.
We
accept expressions of interest by e-mail only, per the instructions below. No
phone calls, please!
The
deadline for applications is 5 p.m. ET, Monday, Nov. 5, 2012. Interviews will
be conducted in the weeks immediately following.
E-mail
the following to summerjobs2013@globeandmail.com
please: 1. Résumé, including relevant
experience, as an attachment. 2. A 100-word explanation of what you would bring
to The Globe or globeandmail.com as an editor or reporter in print or digital.
3. Three examples of your work through a link. In the subject line of your
e-mail application, please indicate your school or city and whether you are
seeking editing, web, reporting, photography or newspaper design work. The
subject line should therefore look like this: Ryerson-photographer or
Carleton-editor or Vancouver-reporter etc.
The
large volume of applicants we receive every year means we cannot respond to
everyone who applies. But you will hear from us shortly after the deadline if
you are chosen for an interview. If you are, please spend a little time with
The Globe and Mail and globeandmail.com before we see you.
Good
luck to everyone.
