Voicebox: Editors' Picks

Editors' Picks

We are incredibly proud of the community we have built up on Voice, and the great range of content that gets published. You might not know this, but the team reads everything that gets uploaded to the website, even if we don't comment. And while we do have the ability to promote content to the homepage, it's all too soon before it gets replaced with another fantastic piece.

So, we have created a Voicebox where all the amazing content from our users can be forever memorialised. If we find something that we particularly enjoy, you can bet it's going to end up in this Voicebox and shared on social media!

    Videogames are an artform, and deserve to be recognised as such

    by Matteo Everett Contributor

    When a new artform is unleashed into the world, the gatekeepers of culture often downplay that new form's status as 'art'. Videogames are often dismissed as mere entertainment. But like cinema and opera, they are an accomplished hybrid for of art.

    I used Twitter’s API to find out what people thought of LNOP’s new Jerusalem

    by Christopher Hill Contributor

    Using a bit of coding know-how and an unhealthy relationship with spreadsheets, I try and get an idea of what Twitter thought of Errollyn Wallen's new arrangement of the classic hymn Jerusalem by Sir Hubert Parry. Twitter did not seem impressed...
