There are two interviews. The first one is more informal with the recruiter in a metropolitan city near you. The second interview occurs in New York City, and it is much more difficult where you face a panel of 8-10 executive staff members.

There were 3 parts to the interview process. The first was an online application with short essay questions. It's really important to think these through and write meaningful answers as they will ask you about them later in the process. The second part was an interview in a city where you might be. Its important to prep for that interview. Most of the questions were technical and behavioral. Make sure you have a good story for what/why journalism and how you can benefit from/add to the program. Part three of the interview process is a group interview in New York. Pretty intimidating so you should be prepared. Practice your answers. Know the network and what type of stories you're most interested in covering. Know what is going on in the news and how the network is covering it. It's best to bring in a few examples. You're competing for about 10 spots and there are about 25 that are flown in for the interview. It's hard to be too prepared.
