The candidate should discuss any experience they have with scheduling and planning based on stories they have found. They are responsible for knowing all of the anchors and reporters at the station and create master lists of future story ideas and who will cover them based on everyone's strengths. The candidate should prove that they are organized, have a good memory of events that are coming up, and have a good grasp on future events that are worth preparing for, previewing, and covering with multiple teams if they are incredibly important.

"I have always considered myself a very organized person, and have always been good at keeping my busy schedule on track. I feel that I can share my organizational skills with others and keep track of all the stories we have in our planner so that we do not forget some of the most important ones of the day, week, and year."
