I applied online. I interviewed at ideastream (Cleveland, OH) in Mar 2023
Interview
First, you have a series of Zoom interviews with other reporters and editors.
During these interviews, you are asked questions in a round robin style.
The questions I was asked included:
How I'd deal with different hypothetical situations as a reporter,
What my reporting experience was, what I learned from that, and how I'd apply that to this position,
My approach to covering the news,
What I knew about different types of journalism, and
To discuss the news of the day.
The final stage involves a timed writing test. I was given a scientific study and asked to review it and write up a summary that I would use to write a radio script in a set amount of time.
