The North is a place some of us are fortunate enough to call home, a place of culture, tradition, heart-wrenching challenges, perseverance and innovation. The Yukon was built around stories whispered, sung, shared around the circles of campfires. As journalists and members of communities ourselves, we work to acknowledge the sweat and toil, tragedies, wisdom, resilience and joy, all of which shape the social, political, economic and natural topography of the territory.

Indigenous peoples are increasingly speaking out to claim their rights and assert their influence. Emerging immigrant communities are planting roots. It is a territory in transition, where there's space to learn, to experience, to travel, to build and sustain a career and a life.

Be prepared to fall in love with all things local.

This role requires full time on site presence.

Your role

CBC North is looking for an energetic, creative Reporter/Editor to take on a vital programming role with our audio shows.

Based in Whitehorse, this reporter-editor position will form part of an experienced team of hosts, producers and reporters that puts together sounds, stories and segments for our daily shows, Yukon Morning, Midday Cafe and Airplay. The successful candidate will contribute community-based storytelling to our programs with a focus on compelling presentation and characters that represent the breadth of voices and perspectives in our listening area.

You'll pitch ideas, guest interviews and story treatments and - with the direction and support of a producer and editorial leadership -- bring programming to light and life. The reporter/editor assigned to our audio shows will appear regularly on air, doing live hits, in-studio debriefs, and short documentaries. You'll also collaborate and regularly contribute to digital, visual and social platforms to ensure our coverage is vibrant, relevant, responsive and serves the widest possible audience.

As required, you'll edit material created by others and perform other production or administrative tasks associated with the smooth functioning of the shows and the newsroom.

You'll experience the rush and professional fulfillment of providing people with the information and insight they rely on to navigate the world. There will also sometimes be the unglamorous grind of daily programming when the story chase is sluggish and no one seems to be answering their phones or responding to texts or email. You'll get a chance to be creative and thoughtful and to challenge yourself to produce journalism that stretches your horizons, journalism that matters to our audiences.

As the media industry evolves and audiences shift the ways they interact with us as a public broadcaster, it's a time when local news and community storytelling are more important than ever. As a candidate for this position, you'll show us your instincts and skills for finding and producing stories and for building connection and trust. You'll also be able to show us that you've already started learning about the diverse and changing population of the Yukon. You've thought about new ways to reflect all our communities in our content.

You live and promote an inclusive and respectful work culture. You're a wellspring of initiative and you also love collaborating with your colleagues. You're proud and passionate and humble. The work we get to do isn't about us as individuals. It's about what we create together.

All work will be governed by CBC Journalistic Standards and Practices.

Who you are:
  • You are insatiably curious and thrive on connecting with people.
  • You believe stories have the power to change hearts, minds and you are driven to learn about and from the Yukon and to be a catalyst for Yukoners sharing their stories locally, far and wide
  • You are a creative critical thinker who appreciates different perspectives
  • You're not afraid to take creative risks, and you inspire others to do the same.
  • You champion new story treatments and new workflows.
  • You love getting out of the office because that's where stories live.
What you bring
  • A creative mind with an inclusive approach to storytelling: you constantly ask whose voice is missing; what can we do differently and; what if?
  • A demonstrated commitment to exploring treatments and topics that are relevant and engaging to a diverse audience.
  • Respect toward Yukon First Nations, Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous protocols
  • Knowledge and experience with digital and visual storytelling
  • An appreciation for different perspectives and an openness to new narratives
  • A keen interest in the people and communities that make the Yukon what it is, its cultures and histories and who's contributing to building for the future.
  • A love of live radio and audio storytelling and the ability to use sound and voices to best serve the audience.
  • A wide range of interests and passions.
  • A strong sense of initiative: you see the gaps in programming and thinking and bring forward great ideas to close the gaps.
  • A commitment to accuracy, fairness and balance in storytelling.
Your profile/Qualifications:
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Strong organizational skills; ability to handle a variety of functions quickly and efficiently.
  • Comfort and confidence with the demands and needs of a multi-platform production hub
  • Experience with daily programing and the ability to respond to the pressures of breaking news
  • An inclusive thinker, able to work independently and as part of a team to bring the best to the audience.
  • Interviewing skills that demonstrate a curious mind and ability to listen
  • Experience in identifying, chasing and booking interview guests, developing lines of questioning, writing focused introductions and preparing audio segments.
  • Ability to travel within the territory on assignment.
  • Ability to work flexible hours and overtime.
  • Strong presentation skills for broadcast. You are comfortable reporting live.
  • Experience using iNews and Dalet (or comparable editing and scripting tools) is an asset
  • A post-secondary degree or equivalent combination of education and experience along with 3 years of experience relevant to journalism
  • Must possess a valid driver's license as well as a driving record that meets the minimum requirements of CBC/Radio-Canada's insurance company.
Please include additional documentation, including a link to your online demo or website in your cover letter.

Candidates may be subject to skills and knowledge testing.

We thank all applicants for their interest, but only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
