La Voz has been a weekly publication since De Anza College was founded in 1967, with several exceptions during upheavals in the journalism program in the 1990s.

The first issue, on Sept. 11, 1967, was called “De Anza Vistas,” but by the second issue, the newspaper was renamed “La Voz de De Anza” (The Voice of De Anza). Other names used over the years, always including the words“La Voz.”

The founders of La Voz and De Anza College chose names toreflectCalifornia’shistory,not the college’s demographics at the time.

Student editors who run La Vozhavediscusseddiscarding “La Voz” from the publications name many times over the years. Readers overwhelmingly preferred “La Voz” in a 1998 survey.

The current group of editors also chose to stay with “La Voz” as a nod to history, and to add “News” to emphasize the newsworthiness of the content.
