Journalism Interview Questions

84 journalism interview questions shared by candidates

About the offer question above, as I write this, I'm still negotiating the salary, I haven't accepted it yet. It started with a brief intro of all of us and the house rules. 1. First question, why this job? 2. Then they moved to competency based questions. The highlight was a scenario in the news process. This part took a BIG chunk of the time and there was a lot of "grilling" here. They asked me for a story idea, how I'd treat its coverage: who would I interview,? why? What if I was faced with an ethical situation, what would I do. There was an example for this and lot of other questions which I really can't recall. The panelists were friendly and made me comfortable making sure I heard every question right and should I need them to repeat it, I could ask.
