Why did you decide to become a producer?
The interviewer wants to know why the candidate wants this job position. The candidate should explain why they are passionate about producing and mention the skills they have that will make them a successful producer. A good response shows that the candidate would improve the quality of news produced by the station and has a good understanding of all the responsibilities of the job description.
"Writing has always been my passion, and in college a professor recommended I look into writing for the news, because I love working under pressure and staying up to date with current news stories and events. I interned with a local television station and quickly realized that my writing skills would fit perfectly in the career, and I have never looked back since that day."

I am very passionate about writing and journalism. I grew up in an area filled with crime and noticed the media didn't really cover the issues in my community. This is what prompted me to pursue a career in journalism with the hopes of using my talents to bring change.
