Please note: this is a one-year opportunity

The opportunity:

You devour the news and believe in the value of local journalism. You’re tapped into local communities and you want to give the newsmakers, however big or small, a voice on multiple platforms. 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 working in 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.

You’re not happy with the bare minimum, and instead take every story one step further. You’re excited about the possibilities that multi-platform reporting offers. You may not know all of CBC’s tools but you’re technically adept and willing to learn.

In this role, you’ll be reporting and reading newscasts for Up North, a radio show which is heard across the vast expanse of northern Ontario every weekday afternoon. You’re responsible for telling the stories of this sprawling region and connecting cities, towns and First Nations that might be thousands of kilometres apart. You’ll tell the audience about the daily news that’s shaping their region, while providing key survival information in a region where the weather is far from a background character.

Working from CBC Sudbury, you bring together the biggest stories from your home newsroom and from your colleagues at CBC Thunder Bay. You begin your work day at noon to carry the news agenda through the afternoon and help set the table for the next day by assisting with radio and online content for the following day and beyond.
