Job details
The _Lloydminster Meridian Source_, based in Canada?s border city, is seeking a full-time motivated multimedia journalist to join its award-winning news team.
The _Source_ is a locally owned community newspaper with over 70 years of history in print journalism, printing once per week on Thursdays. Journalists can expect to cover everything from local sports and human-interest stories to municipal and bi-provincial political and healthcare issues.

Driven by agriculture and the oil and gas industry, the Border City is a community like no other, one always willing to help someone in need.
The successful candidate possesses outstanding leadership and communication skills, keen attention to detail and the ability to work under pressure. A passion for community storytelling is a must and eagerness to infuse multimedia into coverage is encouraged.
Key attributes and skills include:
? Excellent knowledge of CP Style and proper grammar.
? Proficient in using Adobe InDesign and Photoshop
? Ability to write using multiple sources and details pulled from a variety of places.
? Thorough understanding of social media, photography, video, and print journalism.
? Understanding of urgency for coverage of breaking news online.
