The ideal candidate is someone who possesses great people skills; can write clean, compelling and creative content; possess excellent news judgment; and is a self‑starter who does well under pressure.

The editor must have excellent communication skills to build relationships in remote environments as this role must actively and consistently communicate with the digital teams at the local stations.

A bilingual writing test is part of the application process.

• Willingness to follow very specific systems and workflow, while also exercising excellent judgment to know when additional measures are needed.
