11. In what ways do you voice your opinion on story ideas to the newsroom?
How to Answer
The news director should let reporters and producers pitch stories and decide which work best for the day, but news directors have the ultimate say on which stories should be covered. The candidate should prove that they are capable of making smart news decisions for the office based on what the community wants to hear most.

Answer Example
"While I will trust my staff to make good daily decisions without me, I will always be monitoring the top stories daily and will voice myself in morning and afternoon meetings if and when I find stories that are essential to cover. I will do my own digging for stories, and pitch them when I find ones that are important to report."
