A sign of definite intelligence - The Vox Book Club (The Spokesman-Review)

Alright guys, our next discussion will be this Friday. We'll be finishing up the first section, which means the last four parts are officially assigned today. So read through "The Jesse Owens Incident," "The Other Side of Sandpaper," "The Smell of Friendship," and "The Heavyweight Champ of the Schoolyard" by Friday and be ready to discuss!



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.
