Some Stuff...

First time poster here, few things I shot in Toronto either for myself or for the community papers that I liked. That industrial-looking one is a pile of rebar shot on the demolition site of an old Canadian Tire shipping/receiving centre near 401/Leslie that has been torn down to build (more!) condos...

The Toronto Star Year-long internship.

The Star Photo Department traditionally hires a year-long intern as part of the Youth Employment Program, so some rules apply.

The successful candidate will be able to hit the ground running, both learning from and contributing to a 18-photographer staff.

The Intern will have the opportunity to shoot a wide range of subjects including portraits, features, general news, spot news and sports.

The intern will work a rotating shift (four-day work week) with the full responsibilities of a staff photographer. Past interns have also been given the opportunity to pursue both staff-generated and personal projects.


THE YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM

The Youth Employment Program is a joint project of the guild and management at The Star. The purpose is to provide jobs for people under the age of 30 who have NEVER held a permanent full-time job at a daily newspaper.

These are one-year contracts with a formal program of career and skills development and work experience. The program starts mid-September and the application deadline for the Fall 2007 program is Friday, July 27, 2007.

The 8 internship spots include writers, copy editors and a photographer. These are paid, full-time positions. We've had successful applicants who do not have journalism degrees, but who do have degrees in a special interest area and extensive journalism experience.

The program begins with two weeks of orientation and interns will participate in bi-monthly seminars.
