I've undergone editing tests that took (by design!!) 12 hours. I've been asked to produce a full day's worth of example social copy. ALL UNPAID.
This is a huge recc that I bring to my work with newsrooms who are looking to rebuild their hiring practices.

There's a lot I love about this, but more specifically:
1. That's a whole lot of reader questions!
2. The circling back to let readers know how their participation informed coverage.
3. The "How to Ask" embed.
