Typically this involves a foreign nation, but I figured that Fairfield Street's obscure enough and that America is Gaian enough for this to qualify as obscure world news. A travesty, isn't it? And an inconvenient one, I might add, considering we're currently undergoing a record-breaking…

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.

The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
