I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pittsburgh Tribune Review (Pittsburgh, PA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Great phone interview. Met them in person. They give a silly writing test, that is absurd and insulting for a big newspaper. (It relies on you making assumptions, which you should not do as a skilled journalist.) Then nothing. They cared not a whit about getting back to me, even after I invested much time, and when I contacted them, it seemed like they felt put upon by my call.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Cannot recall particular questions. But do not mention the controversial and late founder, because they freak out.
