I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at TEGNA
Interview
Application, phone interview, person interview. Very thorough and very detailed. They expected you to respond to different imaginary scenarios to gauge your reactions. Did not give much insight into company structure or how company has changed since Tegna's acquisition.

Question 1
How do you approach sales people who aren't digital natives?
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TEGNA (Little Rock, AR) in Jul 2015
Interview
I actually had applied for a different role with the organization but received a phone call from a Director of Sales, who wanted to speak with me about the DSM role. I agreed to meet with him at the local station KHTV. The interview went well and for the most part the DOS was friendly. After two meetings I reached out to the DOS as a follow-up but never heard back from him. Can't say I didn't expect this type of behavior, since I've had experience with a media company previously and professionalism is not an area that they strive in.
