Why did you decide to become a reporter?

The candidate should discuss with the interviewer what skills they have that make them a good reporter and what motivated them to study and practice to become one. They may discuss people who have influenced them and why they feel they will do a good job based on their writing skills, interviewing experience, and more.

"I wanted to become a reporter because I have always been a curious person. I love learning the most up to date news, and I feel that my writing can help others stay up to do date and accurate as well."
