The Vox Box

Ewwww alert: Study says we don’t wash our hands

According to the American Society for Microbiology, Americans are a bunch of nasty people who don't wash their hands.

According to a press release and their web site, men are the worst offenders.

Well? It's cold season. Did you wash your hands today? Huh? Did you???



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.
