The digital reporter is critical to our journalism, highlighting gaps in the systems that shape the lives of Ontarians and exploring solutions. You’re driven to pursue coverage of everything from health care to education to infrastructure, always with an eye to the human element that makes policy personal. Your reporting would go wherever Ontarians’ tax dollars go and would include strong elements of solutions and accountability journalism.

You’ll seek input from real people in communities and regions across Ontario, examining the issues and reporting on potential solutions. You’ll cover the son in Sudbury who’s trying to help his elderly mother navigate the long-term-care system; you’ll cover the father in Kenora whose child needs mental-health care but can’t get it; you’ll cover the disabled university student in Ottawa who can’t find accessible housing. You’ll cover their stories from a human perspective and hold Ontario’s many systems and institutions to account. 

Through text and multimedia reporting, you’ll provide new insights that will resonate with readers from across Ontario. TVO is a learning organization; as such, you’ll also look out for stories that can be repurposed for educational uses. This is a one-year contract position.
