It was a pretty standard interview process, including a test to check my ability to find typos and grammatical errors, as well as my speed. It did take a while to get feedback between each step, but they were nice to talk to.

Behavioral Technical
Had a quick phone call about my background, then met with the newsroom supervisor and my direct supervisor in person. After that, there was an edit test which was pretty straightforward. The in-person interview was pretty standard, nothing really out of the ordinary.
