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.

History

. 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.cite web|url=http://www.cardinalcourieronline.com/home/generalinformation/|title=Cardinal Courier awards] In 2007, the "Courier" won the New York Press Association's "Best Sports Coverage" award for 2006.cite web|url=http://www.nynewspapers.com/pdfs/BNC%20Awards%2006.pdf|title=New York Press Association 2006 Better Newspaper Contest Winners]

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.

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.
