Media Matters

Magazine/Web Reporter (Bloor & Ossington)

Do you love writing and editing, meeting interesting people and coordinating all types of editorial projects? We're looking for someone to work this summer with big ideas and lots of energy. Shy desk fixtures need not apply. Attitude is more important than aptitude, so if you've got the personality, but need the experience, this is for you.

The position is full time, working out of our office in Toronto. 

You will be responsible for creating and assigning content and ensuring it fits with our ideals for the web and magazine's vision, mandate and editorial objective. You will ensure consistency of focus, tone and content.

This role includes building relationships with representatives from major industry associations and attending conventions, trade shows and other events. You will also work closely with our in-house production department and with advertising sales representatives.

If you have a passion for written communication, event planning or public speaking, along with outstanding interpersonal skills, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Computer literacy such as Word and InDesign are important, along with an excellent knowledge of the English language and grammar. You must have a keen eye and a desire to make sure no mistake goes uncorrected.

We offer a great working environment and an excellent opportunity to gain experience. Part-time or full-time work may be available after the summer.

Our company, Media Matters Inc., is constantly expanding coverage of the automotive aftermarket and related industries. We're always seeking the best of the best as we broaden our offering across various platforms. 

Our publications and websites are at the top of the field, and we need solid, dedicated team players to add to our roster as we expand into other sectors. These sectors include but will not be limited to mechanical automotive service, jobbers, wheels/tires, and the towing/recovery industry. 

Ideal Content Creators at Media Matters are not just writers but enthusiastic "buzz" generators who are comfortable with all aspects of media delivery. Finding and reporting stories is the mainstay, with the ability to package the content in compelling detail.

Media Matters publishes among other properties, Collision Repair, Bodyworx Professional, Collision Quebec, Canadian Auto Recycler and Canadian Towing & Recovery. They are industry leading magazines, websites and eZines. We offer an excellent team, integrity and a downtown office. Plus we're a lot of fun and love winning.

To apply, please send your resume, a maximum of two writing samples and a brief cover note explaining why you're a perfect fit to the coordinates below. We thank all those who apply, but regret that only those candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.

Application deadline: April 24, 2015
