Folio Awards: Behind the Scenes

That’s the day the Fair Media Council presents the conference of the year. We call it Real & Powerful: The News Conference, which brings out the best in national and local news to take you behind the headlines and establish an open dialogue, because a strong democracy begins in our own backyard. Take a look at last year’s event.

Incredible networking, too, in the posh setting of The Garden City Hotel. (Some people think of it as Connection Day on steroids.) Details Are Coming Soon. Sponsorships and speakers wanted.
