Whether in their cars or kitchens, listening to the podcast or on the radio, Your World Tonight is the place where our audience goes for the best summary of what happened in our country and our world - seven days a week. Listeners tune in to be taken on a journey, guided by our reporters and correspondents across Canada and around the world, transporting them to where news happens, while delivering on the promise to bring them the context and analysis needed to better understand their country and their world.

We're looking for a creative and enthusiastic Producer who understands the world of audio storytelling to join the award-winning team at Your World Tonight .

We're looking for a producer to help make our nightly news program not just stand out, but sing - through rich writing, strong journalism, a deep understanding of how to use sound effectively, and, of course, great storytelling. You have journalistic rigour - someone who is confident in their ability to vet reporter scripts for accuracy, journalistic standards, style and structure. You write with precision and flair. And you'll be mixing audio and assembling news stories so we're looking for someone who is a whiz with audio editing - or can prove that they will be, quickly.

This is a news environment, so things move quickly. A sense of collaboration, diplomacy and calm under pressure will be your friend. A sense of humour wouldn't hurt, either. This position is with the YWT weekday team.

We're also looking for someone who can cast an eye on the future: a producer who understands they are creating this program for each evening while also figuring out who the audience listening might be in 5 years. Someone who will push to include voices and stories that have been traditionally underrepresented in the media.

It's a lot to ask, we know. But for the right person, this job gives a whole lot in return.

Key Tasks:
  • Develops content for YWT including researching and writing copy stories, script/clips and sequences, promos, show openings and closings, as assigned
  • Works closely with reporters and correspondents in the field to bring their items to air, which includes researching the story, looking for broadcast elements, coordinating elements, maintaining contact with the reporter through the day, having strong knowledge of the structure of a radio story, vetting scripts for broadcast and ensuring the audio meets the quality expected for the show
  • Working as a member of the YWT team, able to fill in for other members of the show, including line-up and show writer


Qualifications:
  • 5 years of relevant news experience.
  • A university degree or equivalent.
  • Excellent journalistic instincts and quick decision-making.
  • A deep appreciation for, and understanding of, audio storytelling.
  • A keen understanding of domestic and international news events and trends.
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.
  • A true appreciation of the different cultures, opinions and experiences that make up Canada.
  • A broad understanding of CBC News priorities and the values of an inclusive work culture.
  • A proven ability to set priorities, plan, organise and meet deadlines
  • A proven ability to adapt and respond quickly and effectively to stories and situations.
  • Clear writing for broadcast and confident script vetting.
  • Excellent grasp of Media Central, iNews, Dalet and CBC's Internal Audio Sources.
