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.

APPLICATION: Please 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.
