The Corsair (Pensacola State College newspaper)

The Corsair is the print and online student newspaper of Pensacola State College (previously Pensacola Junior College), a two to four year community college located in Pensacola, Florida, with smaller campuses across the Pensacola Bay area. The paper is circulated across campuses of Pensacola State College and is published monthly during the primary school year and once during the summer term. The paper primarily focuses on special events or occurrences involving its constituent college, in addition to student profiles, arts reports, editorials, and Pensacola State College sports reports.
The paper has been published since the 1980s and is written completely by students of the college, directed by a faculty advisor and assisted by a layout editor.
The paper and its staff have won several local and statewide awards for excellence in journalism, as well as design. Previous administrations of the paper had received attention in regards to the defense of free speech and a free press, due to the paper reporting on a schism between certain faculty and the then college president, despite certain warnings from faculty at the time. In addition, The Corsair has had photographs included in The New York Times, has had writings and editorials quoted or cited by published books, and has had former writers and editors write for nationwide papers, such as USA Today.
