The Logic is now accepting applications to its program for BIPOC Journalists, an initiative to amplify voices of underrepresented communities in the Canadian media landscape.
We are an independent, made-in-Canada digital media company founded in 2018 in the belief that Canadians will pay for great journalism. Combining exclusive news, in-depth reporting, insightful analysis and smart curation, we confront the critical questions that are shaping this country’s economic future.
Our coverage of Canada’s economic transformation includes topics like the country’s emerging tech sector; the disruption of legacy industries; Canada’s institutional and venture investors; the collision of new technology with policy and regulation; and the impact of this transformation on how Canadians work and live.
The program will provide a unique opportunity for an aspiring or early-stage journalist to gain first-hand newsroom experience, as well as one-on-one mentoring from seasoned business reporters and editors.
Over the course of 12 months, the successful candidate will work as a general assignment reporter and hone their reporting, writing and digital journalism skills. They will develop an eye for stories in news releases, public filings, data sets and access-to-information returns. They’ll also regularly contribute to our award-winning daily newsletter.

- Work full-time as general assignment reporter at The Logic from September 2022 through August 2023. While The Logic’s main newsroom is in Toronto, this may be offered as a remote experience due to the COVID-19 pandemic, or in consideration of the successful candidate’s location
- Research, pitch and write Canadian business, tech and innovation news stories and features
- Receive one-on-one mentorship and training on elements of business journalism and investigative reporting
- Participate in The Logic’s regular newsroom professional development sessions
- Contribute to long-term data projects and enterprise stories, working closely with The Logic’s reporting team
