CBC looking for news talent in radio operation

The CBC News shakeup continue as the corp moves to have more journalists as presenters in its radio operation. In a memo to staff, Jane Anido, director of national news programs, listed vacancies:

“We are searching for a talented host to work with Alison Smith on our prestigious World At Six program. We're looking for someone with strong journalism skills who is an outstanding on air performer. This is a one-year position backfilling for Bernie McNamee who's currently at The World This Hour.

Also for World At Six, we are looking for a show line-up producer. This is a key new opportunity on the team - as we move into the redevelopment of the program over the next few months. We're looking for someone who's experienced in line-up, has a great programming sense, and who can help lead a strong editorial team.

Finally we have an opening for an editorial assistant on our Hourlies desk, replacing Saira Syed who's off on a year's leave of absence. We are looking for someone who wants to develop their skills working with the team on the Hourly News desk. There will be opportunity for growth and development in other parts of the newsroom too - including other platforms. It's a one year contract.

We are looking for candidates who are committed to producing the high quality journalism CBC News is known for, who are cool under pressure and come with a well developed sense of humour. This is an exciting opportunity to play a role in CBC News Renewal as part of our new integrated world.
