The voice of the people or what the "common man" is saying.

A 'vox pop' on my old newspaper was when a journalist (and photographer) were sent onto the streets to get views of six random people about a selected subject - for example whatever was making news that particular week. Not as easy as it sounds - we had to get a cross-section of ages, and also a photograph to go with the comment. Most people were keen enough to give their views but less keen on the picture.
I hope this helps.

Its Latin. Vox means voice and populis means people.
Literally it means voice of the people.
In this case, it means popular opinion, or how most people feel about something.

I think its something akin to 'voice of the people'. As in vox pop when randoms are interviewed.

Its Latin for Voice of the People - usually used to denote the results of straw polls - the opinion of the man/woman in the street.

"Journalism" comes from the interest "magazine," this is what a newspaper rather is...extra than a number of writing of many in numerous categories which includes information, characteristic, editorial and activities to call some.
