The Vox Box

Microsoft has made a bid on Yahoo…

Microsoft bought lots of shares of Yahoo, causing share value to go up to $28.38.

Although actually just a blurb here, because I thought it was interesting, the article below details the history of the buy. Which is also interesting.

I spotted this in the New York Times. Here's the actual article.

Could this arrangement be good for either company, or will they both pay a price for such an endeavor?



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.
