The Vox Box

Can I just say…

I find it funny that I post a question asking if 17-year-olds who will be old enough to vote in the general election should be allowed to vote in their states' primaries and we get no responses.

I post "Who would win in a fight? Superman or a Jedi?" and we get responses.

You all disgrace me. I'm going to go have a drink...



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.
