It's important to research the newspaper's values ahead of time. Choose a skill of yours that you think is aligned with these values and connect it with an innate character trait of yours. Keep in mind that character traits drive your behavior. While two people may have the same skill (e.g. editing on tight deadlines), they can have two very different approaches based on their character traits. Connect all of this to a positive outcome that would benefit the newspaper.

"I'm a very energetic person, and I'm also very creative. Altogether, I find ways to motivate the writers and brainstorm new directions that we can go in terms of the kinds of news that we cover and how we cover it. Through this approach, I think I can increase reader engagement and get us not just better advertising rates but also more acclaim."
