What they are checking: Whether they can push back respectfully and then commit to the team decision.
What would you do

A reporter in the field sends you unconfirmed information that a competitor has already posted. What do you do?

What story about Chicago do you think digital audiences want that local TV is not giving them?

Which metrics do you look at to know whether a story worked online, and what have you changed because of them?
What they are checking: Whether they use audience data to improve their work rather than just reporting numbers.
What tools do you use to cut short vertical video and write headlines quickly?
