Please note: this is a one-year opportunity

The opportunity:

You devour the news and believe in the value of local journalism. You’re tapped into local communities and you want to give the newsmakers, however big or small, a voice on multiple platforms. You listen and know that no detail is too small to get right. You ask why — a lot. You also love the craft of writing and have experience working in broadcast and digital formats.

You doggedly pursue stories and feel comfortable working on your own. You also know that news is collaborative and you want to work as part of a team to provide the best content to the audience.

You’re not happy with the bare minimum, and instead take every story one step further. You’re excited about the possibilities that multi-platform reporting offers. You may not know all of CBC’s tools but you’re technically adept and willing to learn.

In this role, you’ll be reporting and reading newscasts for Up North, a radio show which is heard across the vast expanse of northern Ontario every weekday afternoon. You’re responsible for telling the stories of this sprawling region and connecting cities, towns and First Nations that might be thousands of kilometres apart. You’ll tell the audience about the daily news that’s shaping their region, while providing key survival information in a region where the weather is far from a background character.

Working from CBC Sudbury, you bring together the biggest stories from your home newsroom and from your colleagues at CBC Thunder Bay. You begin your work day at noon to carry the news agenda through the afternoon and help set the table for the next day by assisting with radio and online content for the following day and beyond.

Applications are open for our 2025 Journalism Travel Grants. The submission deadline is October 7, 2025.

We support journalists in covering under-told stories about ways to make cities and their metro regions work better for all their people.

An ideal project for us to support is one where a journalist aims to inform a critical local debate by reporting on how a promising approach in another city is working. A great example from our most recent grant cycle is this 2-part series in the Baltimore Banner. Please read the stories and consider how your proposal can similarly help cities learn from each other.

Our travel grants of up to $1,500 enable journalists to travel to cities within the U.S. to produce one or more stories for publication. The awards, selected through a competitive review process, cover travel expenses necessary for on-the-ground reporting.

We invite full-time freelancers as well as journalists currently employed by a news organization to apply.

A successful pitch will provide a description of your story; evidence of original research; intended approach, format, and length; and why you are the best person to write the article. Please include samples of previous work as attachments or as links.

Online essays and features published at thewalrus.ca are differentiated from those published in print by their timeliness. They maintain the same quality of originality, reporting, and language. Every commission published by The Walrus is fact checked.

Pitches for fiction, poetry, and art should be included as attachments. We also only consider completed drafts for memoir, fiction, and poetry.

Before sending a pitch, make sure your story idea hasn’t already been covered by The Walrus already or recently.

Please note in your pitch if the story is being submitted to other publications simultaneously.

We pay $1,084.61 for a feature story, which runs about 1200 words. While we typically don’t cover expenses, if you need 50 bucks in gas money to cover something thoughtfully and thoroughly, we’re open to those conversations.

In terms of topics, the only real limitation is geographical. Just about every story has a food angle, but for The Food Section’s purposes, that story must unfold in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, or West Virginia (or the northernmost reaches of Florida, which The Food Section claimed because of its sunshine laws—which ought to tip you off that The Food Section is fond of stories with hard news hooks and corroborating data.)
