The Vox Box

Another S-R Poll

Here is the latest S-R poll published to coincide with Child Abuse Prevention Month and the Our Kids: Our Business campaign.

400 Spokane County and 400 Kootenai County residents were asked: Thinking about your family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances, are there any children that you believe or suspect are being abused or neglected?

"Signs of abuse may go unnoticed." (Full article.)

Many had something to say about this poll. How would you have voted? Do you agree with the results?



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.
