Job Type:

Part-time. Sunday shifts, typically 4–6 hours, with flexibility during breaking news.

Location:

Remote – anywhere in Canada (Western time zones may be ideal).

Salary:

Compensation commensurate with experience. Paid hourly or part-time salary.

Part-time staff may be eligible for health benefits depending on total weekly hours and organizational policy.

What we offer:

The chance to work at Canada’s largest independent media outlet — free from government funding and political influence — inside a mission-driven newsroom that challenges legacy media narratives and tells the other side of the story. Rebel News offers significant opportunities for advancement, with many staff rising quickly into senior editorial, on-camera, or managerial roles. Team members also have the ability to publish written reports under their own byline to build their reputation and personal brand, while benefiting from mentorship and collaboration with experienced journalists, editors, and producers.
