The questions that we discussed as a group mostly pertained to what types of articles appeared in the Voice throughout the years and how often the paper had been engaged in plagiarism, though since I couldn’t find that article I’ve settled for the next best thing; hazing. It’s a topic I’ve noticed a few times throughout my viewing of the Voice and would assume it’s one that has become more frequent throughout the years. I think it’d be interesting to see the students perspective on something that’s recognized as a pretty frequent issue across the country.
My dataset and spreadsheet would most likely search the Voice’s archives for articles containing the words “haze”, “hazing” or any other related terms and sort by inclusion in the title and body, frequency of how often the word is used throughout the article, and the time that issue came out. I imagine this would be a pretty basic way to track not just how often students fin it interesting to write about but increasing with the College’s attempts to stop it. It would also be interesting to compare this to other college newspapers and general media coverage of hazing, which I feel has been ever increasing in recent years.
For privacy, names wouldn’t need to be included, authors or those included in the articles otherwise, though anyone with access to the Voice’s archives could theoretically look up the articles for themselves to find the potential increase in reports.

Your post is amazing and informational. I would say covering hazing would be extremely important, and I would add which Greek org had the most mentions of hazing attached to their org names
