The Vox Box

Wed., Dec. 19, 2007

We’re outta here for a bit, folks…

(Left to right...) design editor Megan Brownlee, A&E editor Robbie Weigle, opinion editor Conor Wigert, and editor in chief Tori Dykes.

See here for the most appropriate holiday greeting I could find from the Vox staff...

It might be challenging to load--It might take you re-clicking a few times. But it's worth it, especially if you want to send some to your friends.

Have a great break--We are signing off here on the blog as well so that the staff can have a break. We'll be back Jan. 7.

Our next print edition is being put together now before the kids go on break. It will be in schools and around town the week of Jan. 9.

Happy vacation!

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
