The Vox Box

Merry Christmas!

I know, I know. The readers of The Vox Box aren't jumping up and down, hyperactively anxious for Santa to arrive- or at least we shouldn't be.  But when has that ever stopped us before? For a few years now, I've shown my younger family members this Santa Tracker by NORAD. It's very cool, for the under 7 set. Or the wish-they-were-under-7 set.

What are you doing tonight? Any awesome traditions?



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.
