The Vox Box

Not our golden boy!

It seems our #1 Olympic gold medalist has fallen! Pictures have surfaced of swimmer Michael Phelps smoking marijuana in a British tabloid. Phelps has acknowledged the photos were him with a press conference earlier this week. He also apologized for his actions.

Seriously Michael? With all your endorsements and younger people looking up to you? Smart move.



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.
