13. What is your favorite type of story?
How to Answer
A good response would be for the candidate to describe what makes their newscasts the best based on their favorite, most compelling stories. The candidate should discuss what types of stories make up a good quality newscast, and how they will decide which stories take precedent in a show lineup.

Answer Example
"I think the most compelling stories are human interest stories, that lifts the spirits of those who watch. While breaking news is far more important and takes priority in a newscast, my favorite stories surprise you halfway through and have visual elements that make viewers excited to watch each day."
