    If I recall correctly, Fox Interactive Media owns all the Scout.com -- or at least has some sort of partnership.

    Not a bad place to put in some time, but don't expect it to be a place to launch your path to stardom. You won't need food stamps, but the pay is underwhelming for a place like Los Angeles. Your spot is your spot, don't expect a promotion or a raise. There is a ton of turnover.

    Yeah. I got that much the first time. I'll just scroll through the jobs for the Fox Soccer Channel and Myspace and post the link for everyone.

    139 jobs listed under Fox Interactive media.

    I don't feel like searching through 12 pages; the first of which is a bunch of jobs for myspace.

    Heard from a credible source that this job has been filled.
    A credible source has confirmed that this job has been filled. No word on who was hired, though another edit position is expected to open up in the summer.
