Your Role

ICI Windsor’s morning radio show Matins sans frontières is looking for a reporter assigned to arts and culture across all of our platforms, with a primary focus on radio. 

Your primary responsibility is to conceive and produce audio content focused on the culture and community life of the region, while occasionally adapting it into web and digital video formats with support.

Creative and curious, you know how to unearth original stories. You have a strong interest in community life, Franco-Ontarian arts and culture, and Francophone communities in all their diversity. Team-oriented and resilient under pressure, you have a thorough command of CBC/Radio-Canada’s journalistic standards and practices.

In this role, you will be the driving force behind our cultural and local engagement strategy. Your mission: design captivating audio and video content on the arts to engage and grow our audiences.

You embody and promote the values of inclusion and respect in the workplace. You are familiar with the population, communities, and culture of the Southwestern Ontario region.

This is a permanent, full-time position for a morning show. The shift is from 5:00 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., Monday to Friday, with a 30-minute lunch break. The successful candidate may be required to work overtime, and the schedule is subject to change based on operational needs.

• Monitor news related to the arts, cultural, and community sectors in Southwestern Ontario.
• Occasionally adapt interviews and content for other platforms—such as the shows La billetterie and L’Escale culturelle—or into vertical videos and radio-visual content.
• Participate in regional media editorial committees to highlight cultural content from the Windsor station.
• Participate in coverage plans and special deployments as needed.

This role requires full-time on-site presence.

Your profile:

• University degree or equivalent experience.
• Three (3) years of directly relevant experience in the field.
