Grande Prairie Reporter/Editor, Local Service Expansion
CBC News is looking for an experienced multiplatform reporter to join our team in Grande Prairie, Alta. If you’re a journalist looking to break original stories and love the prospect of a beat that’s as vast and varied as your imagination, this is a job where you can thrive.
Grande Prairie is a busy, regional hub at the heart of northwest Alberta’s economy and gateway to the expansive beauty of the Peace Country. As a reporter based in this two-person bureau, your work will broaden CBC News coverage in Alberta, ensuring stories and voices from these communities are reflected in our journalism across digital, audio, video and social platforms and programs.
In this role, you will operate independently under the direction of CBC Edmonton’s assignment desk. As such, you’ll need to be someone with a lot of initiative, who is comfortable working solo and with small teams to get things done. You’ll build collaborative relationships with your producers and teammates in the regional station.
You will put audience needs at the centre of your journalism, ensuring your work highlights a broad range of perspectives, experiences and points of view, especially those from people who have been traditionally underrepresented in the media. You will regularly find opportunities to meet new people and expand your network of contacts.
You will ensure that all CBC journalistic standards are met and that our stories are fair, balanced, accurate, thoughtful, immediate and resonate with the communities we serve.
This role requires full-time, on-site presence. The successful candidate will generally be assigned to work Monday-Friday, though flexibility to work other days and shift times will be required.
We are hiring for several jobs in our Edmonton station and northern Alberta bureaus. You can see them all here. www.cbc.ca/workwithus
Your responsibilities:
Pitch, research, gather and produce original multi-platform stories for digital, social, audio and video programming that will engage and inform audiences, deepen our connections in the community, and elevate a range of voices.
Respond quickly to breaking news events as they unfold.
Deliver exclusive and enterprise material on a regular basis.
Distill large amounts of complex information under tight time constraints.
Cultivate and develop working relationships with a large pool of contacts and community members.
Collaborate with colleagues in Grande Prairie and across CBC to develop and break stories, plan and produce features, and coordinate long-term coverage.
Your profile:
Demonstrated experience working in a fast-paced multi-platform daily news environment.
Proactive problem solver skilled at working independently and taking initiative.
Ability to generate, pitch and pursue strong, original stories that meet the needs of our audiences.
A proven track record of connecting with local communities.
Superior writing skills across platforms, and experience in gathering, editing and packaging audio and video.
Ability to present stories live on-air, from within the studio and out in the field.
Knowledge of emerging storytelling formats and willingness to embrace change and new tasks across all CBC platforms.
A proven work ethic, strong communication skills and a positive, team-first attitude.
A strong desire to live and promote the values of diversity and an inclusive and respectful work culture.
Possession of a valid driver’s licence and a driving record that meets the minimum requirements of CBC/Radio-Canada's insurance company.
University degree in journalism or equivalent with a minimum of three years of recent, related experience.
Ability and willingness to work flexible hours as required.
Candidates may be subject to skills and knowledge testing.
