I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hearst Bay Area
Interview
Very standard interview. They appeared to be interviewing a sizeable applicant pool to fill in the role urgently. There were 3 rounds of interviews. Just like the majority, it's been 2 months and no status update was informed whatsoever. If I were to assume, a lot of people were ghosted by HR.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself. What can you contribute to the company?
I applied online. I interviewed at Hearst Bay Area in Apr 2023
Interview
Chiming in with the others who got ghosted. Went through three rounds with Hearst and didn't hear back from them. Even followed up and nada. I think that anyone applying and in the same position should look at the portal. I noticed after 2 months that I'm no longer under consideration. But still, didn't like the lack of communication during and after the interview process.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Hearst Bay Area
Interview
Conversation with two editors that went well. They asked me what parts of the newspaper I read. We talked about stories that I might write for them. They asked me how I would go about reporting them.
