Ah yes, the ever-elusive journalism job. We've heard of them, but apparently they only come out at night. Some say they're almost extinct, victims of a scurrilous plague of unpaid internships. Herewith, Press Gallery's guide to tracking down a rare paying press gig in this country.

The Daily News

JeffGaulin — An oft-bookmarked staple. But then not everyone wants to work in Weyburn, Sask.

MediaJobsearchCanada — Media in the broadest possible sense – film, advertising, print, radio, and TV jobs.

Canadian Newspaper Association — A couple of postings, a whack of helpful newspaper research.

CanWest — Don't knock it till you've tried it. (After that it's okay.)

CBC — Work for the Mother Corp. And seeing as the coding on their new job site (http://www.cbc.radio-canada.ca/jobs/list/) isn't even linkable, they could use a Web editor.

BellGlobemedia — Plum insider posts, everything from editorial assistant to senior news producer.

SunMediaJobs — Working at a tab ain't half bad. Plenty of community papers that don't make it onto Gaulin, too.

Rogers.com — Where else will you find a job listing for a "Creative Writer?"

OpsreyMedia — The little Canadian media chain that could.

MastheadOnline — Toronto-centric glossy mag jobs.

B.C. Magazine Publishers Association — West Coast media jobs? Pshaw!

The Dark Side

CharityVillage — Come to the Dark Side, Luke. A clearinghouse for Canadian non-profit communications jobs.

AllianceforArts — Actual paying jobs in the arts. Who knew?

The Really Dark Side

American Societyof Newspaper Editors — A searchable database of paid internships. What a great idea. Catch is, you have to go Stateside.

MediaBistro — More than 300 amazing journalism jobs in major U.S. cities. You'll want them all. Then, you'll curse your country. Be forewarned.

Bertelsmann — World domination through media conglomeration. How German.
