CBC Yukon has an amazing opportunity in Whitehorse. We’re looking for an experienced journalist to help lead a team that drives local, innovative storytelling on audio, digital, video and social platforms. We’re searching for someone who’s decisive, creative and passionate about everything that makes the Yukon what it is - people, communities, cultures, land, languages, arts, sports, politics and businesses.
