FOX News internships are open right now. On November 11, 2026, FOX's Workday board carried 24 FOX News Media internship postings: 11 for spring 2027, which close on Sunday, November 22, 2026, and 13 for summer 2027, which close on Sunday, January 10, 2027. Every posting we read pays $20.00 per hour. Placements cover FOX News Channel and FOX Business shows, FOX News Digital, FOX Weather, FOX Noticias, data analytics, technical operations and graphic design, in New York, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago and Miami. In plain words: apply by November 22 if you can intern part-time this spring, or by January 10 to intern in summer 2027.
What Is a FOX News Internship?
A FOX News internship is a paid, on-site placement in the FOX News Media Internship Program, the news track of the FOX Internship Program run by parent company Fox Corporation (see our Fox Corporation internship guide for the company-wide view). FOX News Media operates FOX News Channel, FOX Business Network, FOX News Digital, FOX News Audio, FOX Nation and FOX Weather, and its postings say it "reaches 200 million people each month." The New York posting alone lists 38 placement areas, from show teams such as The Five and Kudlow to booking, the Media Desk, Post Production, Accounting and Finance. You don't pick one show: you name your top areas in your cover letter and FOX places you. This guide covers FOX News Media postings only, not FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment or the local FOX TV stations, which post their own roles.
When Do FOX News Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?
FOX runs three cohorts a year and posts each one separately. Its program page gives the windows: spring applications from late September to late November, summer from mid-September to mid-January, and fall from mid-May to mid-July. For this cycle the spring and summer 2027 postings went up around late September 2026, about 4.5 months before the spring term starts and about 8 months before summer session 1. The summer deadline has moved earlier each year on FOX's own postings: February 9, 2025 for summer 2025, January 11, 2026 for summer 2026 and January 10, 2027 for summer 2027. Go by the date on the posting you apply to.
Applications are open right now for two cohorts. Spring 2027 postings (New York, DC, Los Angeles, Dallas and the New York specialist tracks) close on Sunday, November 22, 2026. Summer 2027 postings in all seven cities close on Sunday, January 10, 2027. Pick your city and desk, then send a one-page resume and a cover letter.
General deadline for spring 2027. The spring term runs February 8 to April 16, 2027, at 16 to 24 hours a week on site, so apply only if your class schedule allows it.
General deadline for summer 2027. FOX accepts interns on a rolling basis, so an application sent in November is read before one sent the week of the deadline.
Screening for summer 2027. Applicants describe a pre-recorded video interview, then a call with a hiring manager. FOX publishes no offer date. Fall 2027 applications are expected to open in mid-May 2027.
The internship itself: Session 1 runs June 7 to July 30 and Session 2 runs June 21 to August 13, 2027, at 32 to 40 hours a week on site. Summer 2028 applications are expected to open in mid-September 2027.
How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.
Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open
Two things argue for applying now. First, each cohort has a published general deadline on FOX's own postings: Sunday, November 22, 2026 for spring and Sunday, January 10, 2027 for summer. Second, FOX's program page says interns are accepted on a rolling basis for each term, so seats can go before the deadline arrives. Some tracks are tiny. The Chicago and Miami summer postings each say there's one opportunity on site. Applicants in a 2026 Reddit thread who applied in late September for DC and Atlanta still had no answer in early November, so expect a wait after you apply rather than a quick reply.
Which FOX News Internship Programs Should You Target?
FOX News Media posts one internship per city or specialist desk and term. The table groups the 24 live postings by track.
| Track | Where you may be placed | Terms open now | Key details |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York (general) | FOX News Channel, FOX Business, FOX News Digital, FOX News Radio or FOX Nation: shows, booking, assignment desks, Media Desk, Post Production, Accounting, Finance, Digital Engagement Marketing | Spring and summer 2027 | 38 placement areas; current events knowledge is tested |
| Washington, DC | FOX News Channel or FOX Business: booking, assignment desks, US Capitol, FOX News Sunday, Special Report with Bret Baier | Spring and summer 2027 | Primarily on site in DC |
| Bureaus | Los Angeles and Dallas (spring and summer); Atlanta, Chicago and Miami (summer only) | Spring and summer 2027 | Chicago and Miami list one opportunity each |
| Data Analytics, New York | Business Intelligence or Programming Analytics within FOX News Media | Spring and summer 2027 | Analytics track |
| Technical Operations, New York and DC | FOX News Channel or FOX Business Technical Operations team | Spring and summer 2027 | Production software experience helps |
| FOX Weather, FOX Noticias, Graphic Design, Fashion (New York) | Weather digital, newsgathering and presentation; Spanish-language news; design; on-air styling (spring only) | Spring and summer 2027 (Fashion spring only) | Noticias requires Spanish and English; Graphic Design requires a portfolio link |
Check the current list on the FOX internship search. Two related postings aren't FOX News Media roles: the FOX Sports Production internship in New York, which includes some OutKick placements, and a FOX 13 Tampa news internship run by the local station group.
What Are the Eligibility Requirements?
These come from the FOX News Media postings themselves, read on November 10 and 11, 2026.
• Enrollment: actively enrolled in an accredited college or university and pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree for the length of the program.
• Class year: sophomore (second-year) standing or above.
• Academics: a strong academic record. No GPA number is stated.
• Availability: committed to the whole program, on site, with your own housing and transportation.
• Language: FOX Noticias requires Spanish and English.
• Work authorization: not stated in any posting we read. Ask the recruiter if you need sponsorship.
• Proof: accepted students send an unofficial transcript or an adviser or registrar letter.
Do You Need to Know FOX Programming?
Yes, for most tracks. To advance, the general postings say you must show knowledge of current events or business news, and six of the eight texts we read ask for knowledge of current FOX programming and talent. Graphic Design and Fashion ask instead for knowledge of the company and the media industry. Freshmen aren't eligible for any track.

What Skills Does FOX News Look For, and How Do You Build Them?
We read eight distinct FOX News Media posting texts in full: New York, DC, Data Analytics, Technical Operations, FOX Weather, FOX Noticias, Graphic Design and Fashion.

The technical asks depend on the track. Production roles name Adobe Premiere, Adobe Audition, iNews, Avid, Final Cut Pro and Dalet. FOX Weather says experience with WSI Max or Baron Lynx is a plus. Data Analytics sits in Business Intelligence or Programming Analytics, and Finance and Accounting placements name Excel.

Build These Skills Before You Apply
Each skill below comes from a live FOX News Media posting and maps to a remote Externship you can finish while your application is under review.
| Skill (from real JDs) | JD evidence | Externship that builds it |
|---|---|---|
| Data analysis and business intelligence | Data Analytics track: "Business Intelligence or Programming Analytics within FOX News Media" | SQL & Database Architecture Externship with Breaking Games |
| Marketing and campaign thinking | New York corporate area: "FOX News Media Digital Engagement Marketing" | Beats by Dre Creative Advertising Strategy Externship |
| Social and audience growth | FOX Weather: Digital and Audience Development placements; FOX Noticias: "social media strategy, and audience engagement" | Social Media Coordinator Externship with Breaking Games |

No open Externship teaches broadcast production or reporting. These cover the analytics, marketing, audience and finance placements, which are real FOX News Media tracks too.
What Is the FOX News Application and Interview Process Like?
FOX describes the first steps on its postings. The screening steps come from applicants on Reddit, since FOX doesn't publish them.
1. Pick a posting. Search foxcareers.com with Job Function set to Internships and choose the posting for your city or desk and term.
2. Send two PDFs. A one-page resume and a cover letter that explains your fit, lists your top areas of interest and names your office location of choice. Graphic Design adds a portfolio link.
3. Placement review. FOX says it considers you based on your cover letter, prior experience and interests, so the shows and desks you name matter.
4. Pre-recorded video interview. Fall 2026 applicants say every applicant received one.
5. Hiring-manager interview. Applicants describe one conversation with the team, and one said a decision was promised within a week.
6. Offer and proof of enrollment. Accepted students send a transcript or a registrar letter.
FOX publishes no acceptance rate, class size or interview questions. Expect current-events and FOX-programming questions, since the postings test both.
What Students on Reddit Say
These threads are about FOX's internship program as a whole, not only FOX News, and are lightly paraphrased from comments we read in full.
Fall 2026 applicants said the pre-recorded interview went to all applicants and different departments moved at different speeds. One applicant had a hiring-manager interview and was told to expect an answer within a week; others were forwarded to hiring managers and then heard nothing for weeks.
In a thread for summer 2027 applicants, one student applied in late September for the DC and Atlanta offices and still had no reply by early November, either by email or in Workday.
A 2023 summer intern in news reporting said FOX reached out in February to set up an interview with the potential manager, and the offer came a day or two later.
How Do You Stand Out for a FOX News Internship?
First, use the placement list. The New York posting names 38 areas, and FOX places you from your cover letter, so name two or three specific shows or desks and say what you'd do there. Second, prepare for the knowledge check: the postings ask for national current events, business news for FOX Business and familiarity with FOX programming and talent. Third, consider a specialist posting with fewer applicants, such as Data Analytics, Technical Operations, FOX Weather, FOX Noticias (if you speak Spanish) or Graphic Design (with a portfolio). FOX doesn't publish an applicant count, class size or conversion rate, so there's no benchmark to quote.

FAQ
Can I still apply for a summer 2026 FOX News internship?
No. The summer 2026 class has finished and its postings are closed. You can still apply for spring 2027 until Sunday, November 22, 2026, or for summer 2027 until Sunday, January 10, 2027. Both cohorts are open on foxcareers.com now, with separate postings for each city and desk.
Is the FOX News internship paid?
Yes. Every FOX News Media internship posting we read lists $20.00 per hour, across spring and summer 2027 and across cities. FOX doesn't provide housing: the postings ask you to arrange your own housing and transportation to the office. Summer interns work 32 to 40 hours a week.
When is the FOX News summer 2027 deadline?
The general application deadline is Sunday, January 10, 2027. FOX accepts interns on a rolling basis, so seats can fill before then. Summer 2027 runs in two sessions, June 7 to July 30 and June 21 to August 13, 2027. Apply as early as you can rather than near the deadline.
Who can apply for a FOX News internship?
Students enrolled in an accredited college or university, working toward an undergraduate or graduate degree, with sophomore standing or above and a strong academic record. You must be available on site for the whole term. FOX Noticias also requires Spanish and English. The postings don't mention work authorization or sponsorship.
Can I choose which FOX News show I work on?
Partly. You list your top areas of interest and your preferred office in the cover letter, and FOX says it considers you based on that letter, your experience and your interests. The New York posting lists 38 areas, including shows, booking, digital, radio, post production and finance. FOX makes the final placement.
Where are FOX News internships located?
New York, Washington, DC, Los Angeles and Dallas for spring and summer 2027, plus Atlanta, Chicago and Miami for summer only. Every posting is on site. The New York specialist tracks cover Data Analytics, Technical Operations, FOX Weather, FOX Noticias, Graphic Design and, for spring only, Fashion. Chicago and Miami each list one opportunity.
What is the FOX News internship interview process?
You apply with a one-page resume and a cover letter. Applicants in 2026 describe a pre-recorded video interview sent to all applicants, then an interview with a hiring manager. FOX doesn't publish its interview steps or timing, and applicants say replies can take several weeks, varying by department.
Does FOX News hire interns full time after the internship?
FOX doesn't publish a return-offer or conversion rate for the FOX News Media Internship Program, and we found no class size either. The program includes FOX Master Classes, a Professional Development Series and networking, which help you meet teams, but no posting promises a full-time role after the internship ends.
Apply on foxcareers.com by November 22 for spring or by January 10 for summer 2027. While you wait, a remote Externship gives you a finished data, marketing or finance project to bring to a FOX interview.
