Full-time permanent Monday to Friday
Full-time 12 month parental leave Wednesday to Sunday
Are you a skilled visual storyteller, an ambitious self-starter and a collaborative team player? CBC Newfoundland and Labrador is looking for an experienced and creative videojournalist to join our team.
Equally comfortable in front of the camera as behind it, the successful candidate will be a strong journalist and innovative storyteller who brings original ideas and treatments to their stories, has an understanding of what works for social and streaming platforms and will have demonstrated skills in video and digital journalism.
A keen observer and critical thinker, you must be able to analyze a broad range of issues and thrive in the fast-paced, high-pressure world of multiplatform news. You will know how to gather, write, edit and package stories for a variety of platforms including digital, radio, social, TV and streaming. You will have established sources in the province, and always have a list of original story ideas on the go, reflecting your desire to go beyond the regular news agenda and the standard buzz on social media.
You will put audience needs at the centre of your journalism, ensuring your work highlights a broad range of perspectives, experiences and points of view, especially those from people who have been traditionally underrepresented in the media. You will ensure that all CBC journalistic standards are met and that our stories are fair, balanced, accurate, thoughtful, immediate and resonate with the communities we serve.
This role requires full-time, on-site presence.
