Cardinal Courier Media, or CCM, is the overseeing body of several media outlets at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, New York. CCM was founded in 2007 but has roots that date back to 2002. Cardinal Courier The Cardinal Courier was the student newspaper at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, New York. The newspaper was published bi-weekly on Wednesdays. The Courier published 12 issues per year. The newspaper was named the New York Press Association's Best College newspaper for 2008 and was twice awarded General Excellence by the NYPA (2002 and 2008).
