The Vox Box

cheap… or smart?

With the economy slowing down, people are obviously spending less. But how's this affect teenagers? Maybe for those of us who don't work, and even those who do work, money for fun comes from mom and dad. Do you find yourself trying to do cheaper free time activities because of the bad economy?



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.
