Your role

CBC Edmonton is looking for a creative self-starter and collaborative team player who is passionate about reaching new audiences and bringing local news stories to life through visual storytelling.

That creative and dynamic associate producer will help produce original and engaging visual content on our TV, digital, streaming and social platforms.

As a member of the CBC Edmonton cross-platform visual team, you will write compelling news programming and interview scripts for a visual story line-up that provides audiences with the context they need, wherever they seek that information. That work is rooted in CBC Edmonton’s 6 o’clock TV newscast, but carries over into the CBC News app, streaming channels and video platforms such as YouTube and TikTok.

As someone who lives and breathes the news, you are a critical thinker and an excellent communicator who knows how to drive news stories forward in ways that are highly adaptable to a variety of online video platforms.

• Promote show content that will have a life on other video platforms and creatively share stories between the platforms to reach new audiences.
• As necessary, assist in taking television newscasts to air from the control room, including communicating with staff in the field, studio or other locations.
• Respond quickly to breaking news events as they unfold.
• Distill large amounts of complex information under tight time constraints.
• Chase and book interviews and help set the hosts up for success through scripting and background information.

Your profile:

• A positive, mission-driven team player who seeks solutions through collaboration.
• Demonstrated experience working in a fast-paced daily news environment
• An ability to generate, pitch and pursue strong, original video story ideas.
• Strong news judgment and a demonstrated ability to react quickly to breaking news and changing priorities, and chase multiple stories at once.

• A proven work ethic and strong communication skills.
• Superior writing and visual storytelling skills, editorial skills, experience working with a program lineup, and competency with video editing.
• A highly adaptable mindset with a proven willingness to embrace change as CBC television works to reach and engage new audiences.
