CNN Production Assistant interview questions

I was interviewed over the phone at first. Very basic questions like what skills and experience I had. Was also asked to name several current news stories. I was then emailed three writing samples I had to complete. The first one had to be a persuasive 1500 word essay. The second had to be a sample news story about a topic I felt was important. The third had to be a 30 second reader. Was never contacted again.
