General Assignment Reporter

Do you believe in the importance of digital-first, hyperlocal news coverage?

Village Media — a proudly independent, digital-first network of local news sources in 27 cities across the province — is searching for a talented, dynamic journalist to join our TorontoToday team!

We chase the stories people are talking about (or should be talking about) and tell those stories with authority and accuracy.

Think of us like the daily newspaper, without the paper — boots on the ground reporting where you live, work and play.

Our hyper‑local focus on downtown Toronto includes

• Breaking news
• City Hall coverage
• Crime and courts
• Arts, culture and events
• Real estate, housing and construction
• Transit and infrastructure
