Finding stories may be tough, especially because the entire world is the field producer's playground. The candidate should discuss how they plan on finding stories that are worth covering and how they choose what to cover after sifting through thousands of potential ones. They may talk about what they consider a good or bad story and which ones they would choose over others.

"I find story ideas through sources on social media, through friends, and through digging through blogs myself. I like to find stories that are fun, interesting, and will get the public interested or push them into movement."
