Work at CBC/Radio‑Canada
At CBC/Radio‑Canada, we create content that informs, entertains and connects Canadians on multiple platforms. Our successes and accomplishments are driven by embodying and upholding values, which include creativity, integrity, inclusiveness and relevance.
Do you think you have the ability and drive to keep up with this exciting, ever‑changing industry? Whether it be in front of the camera, on air, online or behind the scenes, you would be joining a team that thrives on making connections and telling stories that are important to Canadians.
This is a one‑year temporary full‑time position requiring full‑time on‑site presence.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the executive producer, you’ll be reporting, producing and presenting news on London Morning, the region’s number one radio morning program, and contributing stories to digital platforms across the day. You will have on‑air experience presenting newscasts, and engaging with audiences through appropriate platforms.
You’ve worked in the field, and you bring your experience and journalistic judgement to the newsroom to help support the overall team.
You’ll be key to guiding editorial decisions, as well as tapping into local communities to give big and small news makers a voice. You’re a breaking news junkie who likes to experiment with different storytelling formats and technology to best suit audience needs.
You listen and know that no detail is too small to get right. You ask why — a lot. You also love the craft of writing and have experience producing work for both broadcast and digital formats. You doggedly pursue stories and feel comfortable working on your own. You also know that news is collaborative and you want to work as part of a team to provide the best content to the audience.
This role is for someone who likes a high‑paced, early morning environment. You must be interested in learning how to operate a console in a radio studio and be comfortable going to air in a live environment, while meeting multiple deadlines. You may not know all of CBC’s tools but you’re technically adept and willing to learn.
