Folio Award Judges, Class of 2023
Accomplished business and community leaders, academics, former journalists, and students serve as Folio judges. They are news consumers who represent a cross-section of society yet have one thing in common: They care about their communities. The entries they deem to be Folio Award-worthy send a clear and powerful message back to the media: This is what we, the public, want and need in our newsfeeds. The process of choosing Folio winners teaches our judges how to be critical news consumers. Ultimately, this program helps us all win by keeping democracy strong.
