I was asked to do an edit test and pitch ideas for the magazine after they liked my cover letter and CV. I was then asked to come in for an in-person interview.

Question 1
What kinds of news do you read? Have you worked in digital media before?
I applied online. I interviewed at Hearst (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Average 3 round interview, reference checks, they took the time to really understand where I'd be valuable and if the role I'm applying for is the right fit for all.
A lot of zoom calls. Very helpful and kind. They want you to fit perfectly in the company. Probably all the process took one month. If you’ve previous experience is better for the outcome but not vital.
