“What is the white stuff?”

Today we have been working on our story package, there are great ideas happening here, but who cares? What is really awesome right now is that it's food panel time with food editor Lorie Hutson!!!

I have no idea what they are eating, and Lorie says they can't know until they are done. But the last thing had "white stuff" inside it.

"This one has white stuff in it too," Jackson Marchant of Mead High reports. But he's eating it. Rachel was staring at it apprehensively...

"It looks weird," Kate Gibson of the Oaks says.

Anthony isn't talking either. But he doesn't talk much, anyway.

Lori is back. The white stuff is filling/frosting. The kids look relieved...

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.
