Photo Editor

Now Hiring - Photo Editor at the NAIT Nugget for 2025-26

Are you a visual storyteller with a keen eye for detail? Do you have a passion for capturing moments that make an impact? We want YOU to lead the photo section at the NAIT Nugget, your campus news. 

Join the Nugget team as the Photo Editor. The Nugget is NAIT’s student news; our job is to report on what’s happening on campus and share the student voice.  An ideal Photo Editor will understand how a picture can tell 1000 words and be passionate about the ethical requirements of visual storytelling.  

What you’ll do:

• Attend and capture campus events, sports games, tournaments and other citywide events as required. 


• Collaborate with contributors, section editors, and Editor-in-Chief to create visually stunning and cohesive content.


• Enhance and retouch images to maintain consistency and elevate visual appeal.


• Manage and organize our photo library, ensuring easy access and efficient workflow.


• Stay updated with the latest photography and editing trends, tools, and techniques to keep our content fresh and innovative.


• Represent the Nugget in an ethical and professional manner. 

This might be the job for you if...

• You're passionate about photography, visual storytelling and/or photojournalism. We're looking for a creative person who wants to help our articles shine. You don't need to be a professional, but you should have an eye for composition and a desire to keep learning and growing your craft.


• You have strong ethics. Working in news means you care about the facts and believe in the importance of strong reporting. You understand that photos can tell a story as well as words, and firmly believe in accurately representing a moment in time.


• You can work with tight deadlines. There are a lot of moving parts to a media machine, so we need someone that can constantly adjust and be flexible. We'll work with your schedule, but most of the work in this role is independent, so you should be a master of keeping yourself on task.


• You're a current NAIT student enrolled in the full academic year for 2025-2026. This is a part-time term position from August 1, 2025 to April 15, 2026. To qualify, you need to be enrolled in classes in both the Fall and Winter terms. The salary for this position is $500 a month.

Qualifications: 

• Knowledge in photo editing software (Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.) 


• The ideal candidate has open availability with a flexible schedule so they can attend events on campus or in the city. 


• Comfortable interacting with a diverse group of people and approaching strangers 

Why Join the Nugget?

• Be part of a vibrant and creative team that values innovation and collaboration.


• Opportunity to work on diverse projects and make a real impact with your work.


• Perks that come with working at NAITSA (like access to the Nugget office and discounts)


• Continuous learning and professional development opportunities.


• A supportive and inclusive work environment that encourages growth and creativity.
