News Editor/Presenter (English Services) (On-Site)

Your role: CBC Edmonton is looking for an experienced news editor/presenter to lead our weekday morning newscasts for audiences listening live on the radio, and on digital platforms. As a key member of CBC Edmonton’s morning on-air team, you thrive on setting the news agenda for listeners starting their day. You are passionate about providing breaking news to audiences, and injecting their mornings with some joy.

You believe in collaborating with colleagues to make material resonate across CBC’s platforms.

As the morning newsreader, you will play an integral editorial and leadership role in gathering, preparing and presenting the daily news, keeping our audiences informed about what’s happening now in Edmonton and northern Alberta. In this role, you will work closely with the Edmonton AM current affairs radio programming team coordinating coverage off-air and bringing a high-energy, team-first presence on-air. You effortlessly balance core news delivery with the show’s lively pace and agenda-setting interviews.

You’re the kind of journalist who loves the adrenaline rush of chasing breaking news and you’re not intimidated by the prospect of changing lineups and rewriting newscasts under very tight deadlines. You embrace the challenge of keeping your newscasts as up-to-date as possible, chasing stories yourself and adding essential context to build trust, show care for your audience and ensure listeners get the full story.

You understand the diverse and changing population in Edmonton and northern Alberta, and the importance of broadening the range of perspectives, experiences and points of view reflected on our programming, especially from people who have been traditionally underrepresented in the media. In your work, you will ensure CBC journalistic standards are met and that our stories are fair, balanced, accurate, thoughtful and immediate.

This role requires a full-time, on-site presence. The successful candidate will generally be assigned to work weekdays, 4:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., though flexibility to work other days and shift times will be required.

We also are hiring an afternoon news presenter, along with several jobs in our Edmonton station and northern Alberta bureaus. You can see them all here
