A good response by the candidate should describe each aspect of the job description. The interviewer asks this question to know if the candidate is aware of all of the responsibilities the job entails, including writing, editing, reporting, posting on social media such as Twitter and Facebook, interviewing subjects, and coming up with fresh story ideas each day. A good answer would include each of these tasks, as well as other intangible ones, such as informing the public and keeping people safe.
