News programs are full of various types of content, from breaking news, to feature stories, to half-hour or hour-long talkshows. All of these programs need producers writing the content, planning the graphics and video to use alongside the script and anchors, and the order that the show will follow.

A candidate should discuss with the interviewer their strengths and what types of shows they most enjoy working on. They should explain why this type of show is their favorite to write and format. The candidate should also mention other types of shows and how they could adapt to other types of writing and formatting styles, as well. The candidate should show flexibility, but also highlight their best work through the answer of this question.
