I applied online. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters
Interview
They explain the job in general and ask questions about your relations to journalism and about the current news. It is good to read about recent news before entering the interview. Other questions include general ones about describing yourself, or explaining why you want to work in this company or position.

Question 1
Which news have you been following recently? Can you explain that news in a clear and simple way?
Three interviews: HR (20 mins) - future boss (45 mins) - language check (15 mins)
The one with the future manager was the toughest one, not because of the manager but because of the person assisting her at the interview, who was looking at finding incompetencies in the interviewee's knowledge

Question 1
about global developments (G7 summit), also general questions about my motivations for the job
Easy, but competency based. E.g tell me about a current financial issue within the housing market? How would you continue reporting if there’s an electricity shutdown? How does your experience align with this role?
The interview was a bit all over the place, and they correct you during the interview. They do a lot of scenario testing, but using highly unlikely scenarios. The salary negotiation is not really a negotiation.
