You will play an integral role in the Local Services strategy with a focus on three priorities: Content: In this role, 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. You will further our original, enterprise and investigative storytelling and ensure we are talking about what matters most to people throughout Edmonton. You’re innovative and will champion new story treatments and new workflows, and will help create a diverse range of content on our digital and social platforms. You’re not afraid to take creative risks, and you inspire others to do the same. Community: As the industry shifts, local news and community storytelling is more important than ever. You will understand the diverse and changing population in Edmonton and the importance of reflecting all our communities in our content. Culture: You live and promote an inclusive and respectful work culture. You have a solid understanding of the diverse culture of Edmonton. | |
