Interview
I applied for the position online and received an email asking for a Skype interview a few weeks later. The interview itself was easy and casual, about 45 minutes long. I asked a lot of questions about the ins-and-outs of position itself as well as general inquiries into the direction NPR wanted to take the department in. I got a call only a few days after the interview offering me the internship, and I accepted.
Currently working as an intern and having an awesome time!

Question 1
What types of journalistic media do you consume? What was it like working at x position?
It was a highly technical interview, there were no traditional interview questions. Posed hypothetical situations about copyright ownership and asked how you would respond or what advice you would give.
There were three rounds -- one by phone and two online with two editors/reporters each. The calls lasted about 30 minutes. I had the opportunity to ask questions at the end.
