QUESTION 20 OF 27

How do you develop contacts for stories?

The candidate should talk about their experience developing story ideas though people in the community. The candidate should talk about prior experience forming relationships and getting story ideas from others. The interviewer is looking for someone who is able to dig for stories and has the trust of the community.

"I develop contacts through being a part of the community, like talking to people at the gym, library, coffee shop, and more. I look online on blogs for things that people are talking about so I can create stories that people will care about."
