What are your favorite types of stories to cover?

The candidate should discuss what types of stories they believe are best to put forward for the day. They may talk about various types of stories, like breaking news, soft stories, political news, and more, and what kinds of news they like best to have reporters cover and why. Although assignment desk editors typically do not cover stories themselves, they are responsible for choosing stories to cover for the day, and should show a good grasp on what stories are preferable to share, and which could be rescheduled for future days.

Sample: :My favorite types of stories are breaking news, because it is my responsibility to hear the information first, share it with the newsroom, update the anchors, create orders for new graphics, and call the reporters to redirect them. This is a chance for my skills of contacting officials and getting us first on the scene come into play."
