The Vox Box

Tonight’s debate….

After the debate in St.Louis tonight between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Palin, both expectations of the candidates were not what happened. Political stradegists had predicted Sarah Palin to spew memorized information on foreign policies and such and mess up the debate as she was said to have with Katie Couric. On the other hand, Senator Biden was predicted to talk too much about himself during the debate tonight...

What do you think? Are the vice presidential picks making a big difference this year?



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.
