With a certain amount of routine material, the candidates receive a vast amount of interesting and practical experience.

The news competition gives the candidate a chance to gather and write up news assignments, as well as to work on "scoops." This consists of finding news outside of the regular channels, such as human interest stories, or interviews. For the first few days of the competition, most of the candidate's time is spent learning form and style of writing, and covering assignments, which are written up under the guidance of editors.
