Be a Spacing intern

We’re conducting interviews for several internship positions at Spacing this fall and winter. Here’s a look at what we have available:

Print magazine
Our print edition interns do it all, including plenty of writing, fact-checking, proofreading, and events coordination. We’re looking for candidates with solid writing skills, of course, but it’s just as — if not more — important that you have an understanding of and passion for the issues at the heart of Spacing.

Spacing blog
Our online interns are crucial to the success of the Spacing Toronto blog. They are one part reporters in the field, and another part editor of the blog. It’s a great chance to get a lot of eyeballs on your work; our blogs are read by up to 10,000 people every day.

If you’re interested, or have any questions, please email Dylan Reid [ dylan@spacing.ca ]. Your email should tell us a bit about yourself and your interest in Toronto’s urban landscape, as well as what skills — journalistic or otherwise — you could bring to the position. If you have writing samples, send those along too. If not, please write a short (400 words or so) demo article about an issue currently affecting Toronto’s public space. Use the style reflected on this blog as an example of the tone we’re looking for.

Please note: Spacing internships are unpaid positions. Only applicants selected for an interview will be contacted.
