Why are you the best newspaper editor for us?

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.
