Description

Cabin Radio is hiring an assistant editor to help lead our newsroom’s coverage of the Northwest Territories. Join the NWT’s leading independent newsroom and help us bring high-quality journalism to the North every day. If you care about how the news looks and feels, how it resonates and how rigorous it is, we’d love for you to apply. This role focuses on our written journalism with some opportunities to work on our broadcast journalism. Questions the successful candidate will be asking in our newsroom daily are: Is this the right story? Are voices missing? Could our presentation be better? Should I assign a follow‑up? Is this a story I can take myself? Do we need graphics for this? Could this be a podcast? Is this legally sound? How should we treat this on air...
