Looking for a cartoonist

cartoon by Steve Benson, Arizona Republic

As we have been advertising, we are currently taking applications for next year's staff.

We need writers and photographers, and we also need a cartoonist.
Next year's Vox editor in chief, Conor Wigert, and I recently attended a conference where Pulitzer prize winning cartoonist Steve Benson of the Arizona Republic said that editorial cartoonists are the type of people who start a bar brawl and then stand back and watch the fight.

We want one of those...

So if you think it's you, apply! See here for details.

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.
