- Spelling
- Grammar
- Neutrality (if there is a word)
- Source
And if they have any enquiries like how they think they should type out a report then they ask?

Again, that is all assessed through their reports which gives us a clear idea of their ability and potential.
In my opinion, this method works. Yes, we have a period of two weeks every so often where report quality is not as high as we usually expect from our reporters, due to the inexperience of trialists. But I think that two weeks of downed quality is a fair price to pay for making the correct decision on who we should keep as full time staff.
You've made this thread to annoy him purposely!

He's not been news reporting long. Give him time and a chance.
