CBC Saskatchewan is hiring a reporter-editor in our Prince Albert bureau, an area that is a vital link in the social, cultural and political infrastructure of north-east Saskatchewan. Your reporting will share undertold stories with audiences in Saskatchewan and across Canada.
Adaptability is key to the role of reporter-editor. One day you could be covering a hyper-local story that matters to residents of Prince Albert and the north, or working behind the scenes to line up interviews for a morning radio program. The next day you’re off to a federal announcement on agricultural support and contributing to broadcast and digital platforms live. Central to all of your coverage is ensuring voices from the region are reflected in our journalism across digital, radio, social, streaming and TV.
In this role, you’ll operate independently, under the direction of the CBC Saskatchewan assignment desk. While you’re comfortable taking the initiative and working solo to get things done, you will have a lot of daily support from your colleagues at both the CBC Saskatoon and CBC Regina stations, as well as from the CBC bureaus provincewide. We’re a collaborative group, here to help you in your daily assignment. You will also have access to ongoing training opportunities to support your development with CBC News.
Affordable housing, short commutes and easy-access to year round activities make this an ideal location for those who prioritize quality of life. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to lakes, river trails, fishing and snowmobiling to name just a few. Located on a major highway, Prince is a 90-minute drive from Saskatoon.
The role requires you to be full-time on-site in our Prince Albert bureau. You will be provided with a vehicle to get to stories throughout the region.
