CBC News Winter 2026 Journalism Internships

CBC News is proud to offer its Winter internship to aspiring journalists from across the country, a six-week, in-person program that provides valuable hands-on experience in multiplatform news environments. 

Please note that we can only consider your application if you have been recommended by the journalism coordinator at your university or college. Please do not apply unless you have been recommended by your school and have received an invitation from CBC to apply to our program.

We are currently accepting applications for our Winter 2026 sessions:

Winter 1 Session: Mon Jan 5 to Fri Feb 13, 2026

Winter 2 Session: Tue Feb 17 to Fri Mar 27, 2026

The deadline for submitting your application is Friday October 17, 2025, at 11:59 pm ET.

About the program:

• Our six-week full-time program offers students hands-on experience in multiplatform news environments. 

• Our placements are located at the CBC Toronto Broadcast Centre but include the possibility of working at other local newsroom locations in Ontario. 

• Interns parallel the programs they're assigned to. Most work is in person, Monday to Friday. However, some placements are hybrid home-office arrangements. Some roles require weekend shifts and/or early morning or late afternoon/evening work. 

• Internships are unpaid. Interns are responsible for accommodation and travel. 

• If successful, a student’s placement area will depend on the interests they express to us, our assessment of their strengths and the ability of our programs/departments to host interns.

Note: This is a list of typical placement areas however they're subject to availability and vary throughout the year.
