Summer 2013
The National Post is recruiting young journalists to work in its newsroom in Toronto next May through August.
We have openings for reporters in news, business, arts and sports. These are paid positions.
The digital
demands of the job require you to write quickly and cleanly to tight moving
deadlines to stay on top of breaking stories. You must be able to use Twitter,
Facebook, Google+ and other social media as a way of both telling and
discovering stories that will receive a high level of interest from Post
readers. You require proficiency in Wordpress, Photoshop and basic
audio-visual software, as well as experience with a content management system.
But, above
all, you should be a self-starter with ideas for stories appropriate to the Post.
If you are
invited to an interview for a summer job at the National Post, please come
ready to pitch a couple of great stories.
Also advantageous to you:
• an ability to speak and read French;
• a driver’s licence (but not necessarily a car);
• a previous summer job at a daily newspaper.
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. 17, 2012
