Several phone calls with editor asking about experience in the field; writing test involved rewriting press releases; references called and asked about how photogenic reporter was and if would look good on cspan; met with managing editor, publisher, executive editor and reporter who was leaving before being offered job. Long process -- requires pestering editor to advance to next round

It started with a phone screening with the editor, followed by an in person interview with the editor and publisher. Everyone was very professional. They asked about my previous experience. I wanted to know what it would be like to work there, what turnover was like and how experienced the other staff members were.
