Fox News Channel, the #1 cable news channel in America, is excited to announce the 7th Annual “Fox News Channel College Challenge.” This is a nationwide competition for undergraduate students majoring in journalism, broadcast journalism, communications or an equivalent. The competition’s mission is to recognize, encourage and support excellence in broadcast journalism in America’s colleges and universities.

The “Fox News Channel College Challenge” requires teams of two to four students (juniors and seniors only) to research, write, produce and submit an objective broadcast news story. A panel from Fox News Channel, who are integral in the newsgathering, production and presentation of news programming, will judge the entries.

The winning team will share a scholarship of $10,000 and the team’s school will receive a matching grant of $10,000. In addition, the winning team and one administrator will be invited to appear on Fox News Channel to talk about the winning entry and their experience. Members of the winning team, who are juniors, will be eligible for an internship at Fox News Channel (must meet eligibility requirements). Members of the winning team, who are seniors, will receive an entry level job interview at Fox News Channel.

Enter online no later then Tuesday, December 8, 2009

All submissions must be postmarked and/or submitted electronically by Tuesday, February 2, 2010.

Does one have to be a paid up member of the KKK to be eligible to apply?

Well the money is good, but not sure that the other awards (internship and job interview) are very valuable. The only value I see would be in the former (the internship) which could give one an insight into how video journalism has gotten twisted by the Fox hierarchy, which could be a journalism project of its own.

Does your team have to get your story ideas past the Republican Party’s PR and communications department before production ?

Eric – your team gets story ideas from the Republican party.

I’m sure that there are quite a few right-wing a-holes that’d jump at the chance to join Faux News.

Fox “News” is destroying America. Anybody who works for Fox News deserves to be anally raped to death by large groups of prison inmates who’ve tested positive for HIV.

I think you overdid it a bit there Patrick.

I mean it doesn’t really make any difference if the inmates are HIV positive if they ‘anally rape you to death’ does it?

I’m glad you asked Dr. Rabbit, The HIV status is out of concern for the prison inmates. After all, you wouldn’t want HIV negative prison inmates to have to contract HIV from Dennis Miller.

I’ve never doubted you have a good heart Patrick, now I know for sure.

I’m no fan of Fox news but I’m always glad to see reporting that will question what DC wants us to hear, or question whatever bandwagon everyone is on for the current week. Could have used more of that leading up to 2003. Like it or not, Fox currently fills that role if only for the moment.
