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

- 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.
- Salary - $20.64/hourly
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:

- 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 Clips from campus newspapers or independent/community outlets are welcome; unpublished essays/assignments written for class grades are not.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
