How do you find new story ideas?

A producer is expected to find good stories to fill their newscasts. A good response to this question touches on a few ways the candidate plans to learn about the stories that matter in the community, including meeting with local representatives, politicians, and school board members, talking to locals in coffee shops, and reading up on continuous issues that face the area. A candidate should demonstrate their extensive knowledge of finding good stories and their interest in finding new content.
