The Vox Box

Sad and pathetic

I understand reality television has not always been the classiest genre of television, but for goodness sake people! E! television channel is set to premiere a new reality show in March called Hot Girls in Scary Places. And yep... you guessed what it is! Girls placed in scary castles with cameras.

Ugh. At least it beats the VH1 reality shows. I can't even watch the theme songs for them. How are these shows getting good enough ratings to even be on television? Come on America!



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.
