I applied online. I interviewed at CNN in Aug 2021
Interview
The interview process was two-steps: one was a HireVue interview and another was a phone interview. The HireVue interview was pretty standard, it asked why I was applying for the position and other general questions.
I actually interviewed for seven different internship positions and received an offer for one. I did phone/video interviews for all the positions, and almost all of them asked me to explain why I was passionate about news/CNN, why I applied to the position, to explain my experience, and to pitch story ideas.

I applied online. I interviewed at CNN (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Was all online, didn't get to talk to a person but rather the interview was pre recorded. Personally would've preferred to talk to a real person. Got an extra try if you messed up which was nice though
