[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 251268, member: 42112"] Hey! I totally get that! For ACs, I often prepared one commercial news story in a bit more depth and made sure I could comfortably explain what happened, why it matters, and any implications for businesses or clients. I would usually also have one or two back-ups just in case (for whatever reason) the conversation moved in a different direction or my main story wasn't particularly relevant. However, I didn't tend to go into as much depth on the back-ups - in practice, I almost always ended up discussing the main story I'd prepared, so the lighter preparation was usually enough. I think interviewers are generally more interested in how you analyse a story, so if you can remember the facts and talk through it thoughtfully, this can go a long way! :) [/QUOTE]
