Torstar is also hiring: editor (1).

Its roles are in Toronto, Canada (1) and Hamilton, Canada (1).

A journalist researches and verifies information, conducts interviews with sources, and produces accurate, timely news stories for print, digital, broadcast, or wire publication. Day-to-day work involves monitoring beats (such as chemicals policy, equity markets, defence, or celebrity news), cultivating source relationships, filing copy to deadline, and, depending on the role, gathering data, shooting footage, or presenting on air. Specialist reporters combine deep subject-matter knowledge with storytelling craft; data reporters additionally build and analyse datasets to surface stories that traditional reporting would miss.
