MBA, News Corp. So I, Roy Elmer Hills IV, am settling into my role here at Fox News Digital and have started to figure out what this summer is going to be like… which is a spectacular development. While most all of the other Fox interns are out and about being investigative journalists, I spend my time sitting at my desk surfing the web and keeping up with the Kardashians and the latest trends in emerging media platforms. I think I am getting paler by the minute, but if you have been in New York in the summer you know that it is no picnic getting a tan either. Basically, I read a lot of white papers, tech blogs and scrutinize every word spoken by Steve Jobs, which given that last week was Apple’s DevCon meant that there was actually a lot to do. I am essentially more or less a consultant, for lack of a better term, to the digital ad sales team on how better to optimize and grow advertising revenue on their emerging media platforms, such as mobile, iPads, Facebook aps, Twitter [well you get the gist].
This rare autonomy as an intern gives me lots of time to ponder important questions, such as the meaning of life and will Lindsay Lohan go to jail. I am also a big high-five giver in the office and am great at distracting others with my thoughts on the latest Taco Bell commercial featuring Charles Barkley. However, in between my moments of distraction glory, I deviate from my ways and make myself useful in helping others in a sales support role, which believe it or not takes up a fair amount of my time.
Well if you are inclined, PLEASE post COMMENTS people so I know that I am not writing this to just pass the time until football season. Additionally, if you are reading this blog from your iPhone, Blackberry or any of the other smartphones, be sure to check out foxnews.mobi.
