Finding good quality stories daily or weekly is crucial to being a multimedia journalist. The candidate should be able to provide examples of how they uncover stories in the community where the station or company is. Fresh ideas of how to find stories will indicate that the candidate will be constantly providing fresh content for the television station or website.

"One of my favorite ways to come up with story ideas is to sit at a local coffee shop for a few hours. I listen to what the locals are talking about, and I see where they are going throughout the day and what they are doing out the window. By getting a sense of what they read, what they wear, and what they are passionate about, I can find great stories they will care about."
