      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PBS Newshour in Apr 2020

      Interview

      I was contacted days after applying by a recruiter who was very kind and asked some basic questions about previous internships and experience. She set up an interview with the team the following business day. They asked fairly standard introductory journalism questions as well as a basic news quiz. After that I reached out numerous times and it took about three weeks to learn that I did not receive an offer, which was definitely frustrating, but overall they were nice enough.

      Interview

      long and not very communicative. the company clearly gets a lot of applications and treats each one like they are one of many. Seems like a cool opportunity despite that

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PBS Newshour

      Interview

      Five interview rounds with multiple people in the newsroom. Mostly standard, be knowledgable about current events and the NewsHour brand. Beware, they pay far below the D.C. living wage and are not very transparent about it.
