He’s one of the most trusted voices in news—and he’s coming home. 

CBS Evening News anchor Maurice DuBois will receive the Fair Media Council’s 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award, the organization’s highest honor, on June 12 at The Garden City Hotel. A Long Island native with nearly four decades in journalism, DuBois is being recognized for a career built on integrity, public trust, and leadership in modernizing national news.

NBC 4’s David Ushery emcees the event, which is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about media gatherings of the year. This year’s Folio Awards is dedicated to WCBS Newsradio 880.

Presenters include PIX11’s Hazel Sanchez and Dan Mannarino, with Distinguished Service Awards going to 77 WABC (accepted by John Catsimatidis, Red Apple Media Group) and FOX 5/WNYW (accepted by News Director Emad Asghar).

Reserve now—this event sells out. 

Folio draws a powerhouse mix of journalists, media execs, newsmakers, and influencers. Tickets are still available. Don’t wait.
