WSJ seeks reporter in Toronto

The Canada bureau is looking for an energetic and experienced correspondent to cover some of the country’s biggest corporate and general news stories, based in Toronto.

This job offers the opportunity to combine business reporting with a broad range of general news and feature-writing, and requires the ability to toggle between daily news hits and bigger-picture, longer-term projects.

On a day-to-day basis, this reporter would cover a broad beat of the biggest corporate names in Canada, with an emphasis on mining and resource companies including Barrick Corp., Teck Resources Inc. and Potash Corp., but also including some transportation, telecom and technology companies, such as BlackBerry Inc. and Bombardier Inc.

The ideal candidate would also be alert to broad themes of interest to different sections, from the soaring real estate markets of Vancouver and Toronto, the oil-fuelled woes of the loonie, the conflict between resource development and the environment, and the chance to cover the great wilds of northern Canada. And of course, the terrain offers rich potential for quirky Canadian aheds.

For an enterprising reporter capable of painting with a broad brush, and doing so on deadline when needed, this is a great chance to join a dynamic team and to uncover the mysteries of the U.S.’s biggest trading partner for the Journal’s global audience.
