Monster
Though this Canadian company lists jobs in every field, it’s still an excellent source for journalists: they just have to do a little digging. A simple keyword search (for terms like “editorial,” “publishing,” “broadcast,” “journalism,” etc.) will yield many industry jobs that might not have popped up on other boards.

Osprey Media Careers
For those interested in working for Osprey Media, which owns numerous newspapers and magazines as well as Canoe.ca, this is the place to be. Osprey properties are found all across Ontario.

Ryerson Journalism Job Board
This is a blog kept by the secretary of Ryerson’s Journalism School. It compiles all of the job offers that would have otherwise been emailed only to Ryerson students.

Workopolis
Similar to Monster.ca, users job searching at Workopolis will have to sift through thousands of unrelated jobs in order to find the prized industry-related ones, but users shouldn’t scoff at a little digging. Great positions crop up here all the time, and after all, isn’t searching and investigating what journalism is all about?

Ed2010 WhisperJobs Listing
This listing is a compilation of jobs that are officially posted to individual publications’ websites and those that the team at Ed2010 have only heard “whispers” about.
