Full job description

Company Description

Torstar Corporation is a progressive media organization with a long, proud history in newspapers and a passion for capitalizing on the fluid world of digital and mobile media. Torstar’s vision for success is driven by a deep customer-centric obsession, continued journalistic excellence, advanced data-driven competency and a culture that is selfless, focused, agile, collaborative and results driven. The successful candidate will be a champion of those priorities while keeping the customer at the heart of all of the creative work that they will be doing.

Our Commitment To Diversity
We strive to be a leader in building and cultivating an employee community framed around fairness, support and opportunity. We believe that what makes us different, makes a difference. And as a team, the diversity of our backgrounds, interests and experiences is what enriches our work, and our workplaces. We welcome all, and we strive for an inclusive culture that allows individual growth and shared success.

Job Description

The role: The Toronto Star is looking for current post-secondary students to staff our digital monitoring hub (historically known as our radio room).

Students work with full-time staff in a challenging but supportive environment in a paid, contract position.

We cannot accommodate volunteers, short-term placements, or co-op students.

What would you do?

Conduct regular checks with police, fire, and paramedics
Monitor social media and other sources for breaking news
Provide quick tips to the newsroom
Original reporting for all the Star’s platforms

Details:

You must be eligible to work in Ontario and a current post-secondary student
Students enrolled in schools located outside of the GTA are welcome to apply, but a base knowledge of the region is an asset
We hire three times a year for four-month stints in line with the school semesters (Fall, Winter, Summer)
The program is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week
The shifts are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 4 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. and 12 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. with a 30-minute break
You must be able to work a minimum of two shifts a week and be available for a variety of shifts including weekend, weeknight and overnight
A full, unrestricted Ontario driver’s license is not required for this position
This role is represented by Unifor Local 87-M.
Pay: $21.12/hourly

Qualifications

We are looking for people who are:

Passionate about breaking news
Calm, well-organized and able to juggle multiple tasks at once
Able to persuade sometimes reluctant officials to provide information
Prepared to speak with victims of crime and accidents
Well-versed in CP style

How to apply:

To apply, upload a single PDF to our online portal under the Resume section containing:

Your pitch (cover letter): In 100 words or less, tell us what you bring to the Star. Why you? Why now? (Note: We value brevity. Consider this your first assigned word count. Don’t go over.)
Resume: Include your email, phone, and current city
Three published clippings:
- Links must be accessible (no paywalls)
- We want to see journalism, not homework. Clips from campus newspapers or independent/community outlets are welcome; unpublished essays/assignments written for class grades are not.

Application should demonstrate:

A range of story-telling skills, with a strong emphasis on news coverage
Proven ability to report thoroughly, write well and organize information
A demonstrated commitment to journalism as a career
Strong interpersonal skills

Deadlines to apply:

Summer term 2026 (Deadline to apply: Feb. 28, 2026 @ 5 p.m.)
Fall term 2026 (Deadline to apply: June 30, 2026 @ 5 p.m.)
