Interns can expect a reasonable rotation through each of these disciplines (as projects permit). The goal is to provide a hand-on learning opportunity in all facets of media promotion.  Interns not only represent themselves, and their respective schools, but Fox Television as well. Business casual attire is expected at most times. Women should not wear low-cut tops or short skirts. Men should wear collared shirts. Blue jeans are permissible only on Fridays or weekends. With the exception of days involving outdoor work (such as on-location production or community events) shorts are prohibited. Inquiries regarding the Creative Services internship should be directed to:
