The Cardinal Courier is the student newspaper at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, New York. The paper is free and is published bi-weekly on Wednesdays. The Courier publishes 12 issues per year.
[edit] History
On April 23, 2002, students at Fisher launched the Cardinal Courier, a new newspaper. Led by John Follaco and Kara Race, this publication replaced the previous paper, The Pioneer. The Pioneer had fallen into disarray and had an ever-shrinking staff. Editors had resigned and the paper had too closely affiliated with Fisher's student government. After shutting The Pioneer, time was spent researching other papers and determining the direction the new paper should go.
The Courier represents a distinct opposite from the last years of The Pioneer as the younger paper has won several awards, including Columbia and New York Press Association Awards.[1] In 2007, the Courier won the New York Press Association's Best Sports Coverage award for 2006.[2]
Over its existence, the Courier has expanded from an eight-page publication to a publication of at least 24 pages an issue. The Courier covers all aspects of the college, including news, opinion, lifestyles and sports.
With the September 19, 2007 edition, the Courier launched its redesign. Almost every aspect of the paper was changed - from the flag to typefaces to layout.

[edit] Athletes of the Year
Beginning in 2006, the Courier began awarding a Male and Female Athlete of the Year accolade. All Fisher athletes were eligible and the award was voted upon by the Courier sports department. For 2007, the same criteria was used as the 2006 awards, except that both the Courier and Cardinal Television's Fisher Sports Desk voted on the recipients of the award. In 2008, the Courier went back to the format that it used in 2006.
