Heard back in two days after applying. It was a standard interview where we talked about my past responsibilities and they gave me a lot of detail about the position. The questions weren't too tough, mostly asking about how I'd handle specific situations that could pop up in the newsroom. The conversation flowed well and it was a good experience.
