News is a nearly 24-hour industry that requires people who work well at different times of the day. Candidates should discuss with the interviewer what time of day they work best, such as early mornings, late evenings, or during the daytime. This helps the interviewer determine if the candidate is a good fit for the open position. The candidate should be honest about the time of day they work best during, but also should be flexible and make themselves willing to work whenever they are needed. A good news producer has strong writing and producing skills that they can use any time of day, and the candidate should articulate this.
