A news director is expected to hire employees in the news department. The interviewer wants to find someone who is experienced with hiring these types of positions and has unique ways of finding the best possible candidates. The potential news director should discuss their experience with hiring and their knowledge of what each job they hire for requires. They should also mention ways they find potential employees, such as through the website's hiring site, other aggregate job listing sites, or through news reels posted on social media sites, including YouTube.
