Video of the Week

Tired of the incessantly-depressing news about Israel, Hamas, and the attacks on the Gaza Strip, but want to keep up with your current events all the same? Informed commentary on what's being done and what could be done concerning Middle Eastern relations, all set to the antics of a cute, fuzzy puppy. All of the news, none of the depression!"

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.
