      "I am ready to meet this challenge as we now live in a world where the focus on diversity and inclusion in news media requires someone who has a deep understanding of the issue and can help organization rise to the challenge of meeting the demands in the next few years."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      You provide very compelling reasoning as to why increased diversity is very important in the news/media - especially now! Overall, it feels as though you could answer the question more directly. For instance, what is in it for you if you were to be hired? What would make you stay motivated and remain in the role for now and in the long term?
