Carleton University’s journalism program is relaunching an exceptional job opportunity during Summer 2025 for a number of its Master of Journalism, Bachelor of Journalism, and Media Production & Design students to gain some income and valuable work experience with Capital Current, the School of Journalism and Communication’s flagship digital news publication.
We will be creating four positions, each for eight weeks in duration. The pay will be $20 per hour for a total of $5,600 for each eight-week placement. Two of the positions will run from mid-May to mid-July and the other two will run from mid-June to mid-August.
Successful applicants will produce content for Capital Current, including its social media streams. Successful applicants will employ a range of digital reporting tools to cover news as it unfolds. Applicants chosen for the June-August positions will also be involved with the delivery of a Podcast Journalism Summer Camp program, to be offered the week of Aug. 11-15.
These positions are available to those who, as of Winter term 2025, were enrolled in the MJ program or in the third or fourth year of the BJ or MPAD programs. Student reporters would be working with editing oversight by a journalism faculty member in the assigning and publishing of stories and other content in Capital Current’s virtual newsroom over the course of the summer.
Those interested in applying should submit an application (including cover letter, resumé, portfolio links) to Prof. Randy Boswell — randy.boswell@carleton.ca — before Tuesday, May 6, 2025 at 5 p.m.
These job opportunities are funded by Carleton’s Faculty of Public and Global Affairs.
