Folio Awards
Honoring excellence in local news and social media. The awards program is adjudicated
by community leaders to choose news relevant to the community,

- Get Media Savvy Breakfast Series
Get the scoop on what's happening inside newsrooms all around us. The discussion is off the record, and a talk-show format encourages plenty of audience
participation.
- Media Fix Workshop Series
Cutting-edge communication skills are introduced in this hands-on workshop series designed specifically for small business and nonprofit organizations to learn new ways to grow.
- Media Savvy KIDS
We take kids full circle, so they can go inside the news process, then
evaluate the news based on what they’ve learned. In addition to introducing
children to media as a possible career choice, the Media Savvy KIDS program encourages
the development of deductive reasoning and critical thinking skills.
