QUESTION 18 OF 27

How do you stay up to date with the latest world news?

A good columnist is up to date with everything going on in the world, and not just pertaining to their specific column. This way, they can tie in local events, or national news, to their pieces and show how their column has a greater importance. The candidate should discuss the sources they get news from and how they stay up to date throughout the week to have a deep understanding of what is going on day by day.

"I stay up to date using Twitter by following accredited sources and reading the newspaper. I like to read newspapers because they are very in depth and I can help my readers connect to what they read in the newspaper earlier in the week through my column."
