It was a 3 step process. The first two interviews were remote, and the final one was in person. For the final interview, they gave me a design task beforehand that I had to present my thinking on.

Behavioral Presentation
After I sent in my clips and resume, someone got in touch about a month later about an interview. We set it up for about three weeks out. The interview itself took about 40 minutes and was with the publisher for all three of the company's newspapers. It felt more like a conversation, a back-and-forth thing, instead of a strict Q&A.

The interview experience was good and the questions asked were relevant and engaging. I was interviewed by three people and felt at ease, though the atmosphere was professional rather than relaxed.
