The candidate should discuss how they plan to keep motivation within a newsroom. This may include writing memos to everyone at the beginning or end of the week congratulating certain people on good work for the week, or holding monthly meetings for reporters to help them improve. The candidate should want their team to be strong and excited to work every day, and they should prove to the hiring manager that they want happy employees.

"I understand how sometimes news can make employees exhausted and lose motivation. I would want to make sure they always have a reason to do great work. I will be sure to always tell employees when they do a good job so they know I am aware of it, and I will always be looking for suggestions to keep my employees excited to come in each day."
