MATTHEW LEIGHT – The Corsair And they wonder why we do not take them seriously anymore? Approximately 30 years ago, CNN hit the ground running as America’s first and only network devoted entirely to providing news on a 24 hour cycle.

Paul Smith – The Corsair Orson Welles once said, “If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.” Well, after several semesters spent writing for the Corsair, this is where my story stops. This will be my last ever piece written for this wonderful ol’ rag – and…
The Corsair staff has recently learned that the administration at PJC is considering implementing a ban on smoking anywhere on the Pensacola campus – a rule which is already in effect on the Warrington campus.
