Are you the kind of storyteller who can turn a local moment into must‑hear, must‑read news? Do you thrive in a fast-paced newsroom where no two days sound the same? If your answer is “Absolutely — put me on air,” then keep reading.
Acadia Broadcasting is growing, and so is our regional news team in Nova Scotia. We operate radio stations across Atlantic Canada and Northwestern Ontario — and in every one of our markets, we’re proud to be the community’s go‑to source for news, entertainment, and everything happening next.
Now, we’re looking for a Multimedia News Reporter in Port Hawkesbury, NS who can bring energy, curiosity, and creativity to our audience every single day.
What you’ll be doing:
Crafting engaging, hyper-local stories for our community portals
Writing for radio in a voice that’s conversational, clear, and made for audio
Pitching and writing daily story ideas that help shape our coverage across every platform
Chasing leads across town, across platforms, and across timelines — phone, in-person, social media, email… you’ll use it all
Participating in our rotational weekend on-call schedule (because news doesn’t take days off)
What we’re looking for:
Strong interviewing, writing, and editing skills for both digital and broadcast
Solid understanding of the CP Style Guide
A self-starter who thrives under pressure and can meet tight deadlines — including breaking news outside the 9‑to‑5
A Journalism or Digital Media diploma — or equivalent experience that proves you know your stuff
Experience with newsroom software (Burli is a bonus!)
A valid driver’s license (the news won’t always come to you!)
What you will receive:
- A compensation and benefits package which includes flexible health, dental coverage options, as well as life insurance and disability benefits
- An annual Health Spending Account (HSA)
- 5% Employer Matched RRSPs and 3-weeks’ vacation to start
