Hi everybody, my name is Baptiste Raffin, and I am the new editor-in-chief of The Messenger.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am very excited to launch this new season of The Messenger, with the same things you loved last year: news, sports, and life articles, podcasts, videos, and some new things too. Our goal is to keep you informed about everything happening at JCCC and around the Kansas City metro.<\/span><\/p>\n
