As a previous review stated, it sounded like they had already made their choice and, rather than asking me questions, informed me why I wasn't what they were looking for at the time.
I applied fall of 2016 for an NPR internship. I got a first interview less than 2 weeks after I submitted my application, with a second and final interview scheduled the following week. It really depends on the specific program you apply for, but for my second interview it was scheduled for only 15 minutes.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NPR (Washington, DC) in Mar 2017
Interview
I applied online, was emailed about a week after the deadline with a writing assignment to complete within a few days. A few days after I submitted that, I got an email to set up a Skype interview. The interview was a little less than an hour long, with no unexpected questions or surprises.
