Description
The Globe and Mail is seeking a Calgary-based reporter to join our national news team on a 2-year contract.
Alberta is the fastest-growing province in the country and a pillar of the Canadian economy, with a growing separatist movement that is challenging national unity. This is an opportunity for a driven and ambitious journalist who wants to help Canadians understand the forces shaping Albertans and the wider impact.
We are looking for a reporter with a demonstrated ability to break news, produce clear and compelling enterprise pieces and develop high-impact coverage. Curiosity, versatility and collaboration are a must.
The successful candidate will work with reporters in the Calgary bureau as well as other areas of the newsroom and across the country.
RESPONSIBILITIES: - Frequently pitch compelling story ideas
- Develop sources to break news and produce exclusive stories
- Write clearly and on deadline
- Work with colleagues across the department and wider newsroom to brainstorm story ideas as well as the best way to tell them
- Think beyond standard storytelling formats and participate in Globe subscriber events
SALARY: This position is classified as a Reporter in Group C of the Editorial Collective Agreement.
Qualifications
- At least five years experience reporting for a news organization
- Interest and experience covering politics
- Knack for identifying issues in Alberta that will resonate beyond the province
- Strong writing with versatile range - from hard news to human-interest feature to explanatory
- Solid news judgment with a track record of enterprise work
- Comfortable working in a variety of formats, including live blogs, newsletters, video and audio
This position is based in the Calgary office and requires a minimum of two days a week in office.
Please apply online here and include a cover letter, with three links to your previous work, along with your resume (that is written by you, not AI). Our promise to readers is that the best work comes from our own (human) curiosity and creativity - we’d like to see yours.
Please state in you application that you found this job on Jeff Gaulin's Journalism Job Board.
