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.

Your role
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.
