I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CNN
Interview
The interview was quite simple. The first contact is done by somebody in Human resources that let's you before hand that you are going to receive a phone call from your targeted supervisor. Then a phone interview is done with simple questions about you, your experience and maybe some questions about the news world.

Interview
The interview process was not much of an interview at all. I received a call from human resources, and was asked if I would be willing to work for a specific department. I was then asked my availability. I did not meet anyone from the department until my first day at work. The decision seems to have been made solely by resume.

Interview
I applied for an internship position sometime late April, and then three weeks later I got a call from the internship coordinator. She just wanted to confirm a few things, like if I was able to get college credit. Then she told me that she would pass my resume to the senior producer. Several days passed after that phone call and I got anxious so I called her to check in on my status. She said she was glad I called and assured me she would prod the producer again to call the candidates. A few more days pass again and I get a call in the morning from the senior producer asking if I was free to answer some questions. I had just rolled out of bed, but I was so excited I said yes, go ahead. He asked pretty standard interview questions like "why do you want to intern at CNN?" and "What is your strength and what's your weakness?" After he asked his questions and I asked my questions, he said that he was going to call a few more candidates. I thanked him, hung up, and then a few hours later he called back offering me the internship.
