23. What qualities do you look for in reporters?
How to Answer
A main responsibility of a news director is to hire reporters. The candidate must discuss their experience in hiring employees, or interviewing others. The candidate may discuss qualities in reporters they look to hire that will help their final product, including reporters who are passionate, are good multi-taskers, and know the local area well. A good response shows that the candidate knows what it takes to be a successful reporter and can spot these qualities in others.
