QuoteDear Folio friends,

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live.

Folio Weekly has experienced the economic freefall of this outbreak, and I have picked this moment to retire and conclude our business operations.

If you have been among our loyal readers, you are a treasure to me.

If you have been an advertiser in Folio Weekly, you made a worthy choice in locally owned media.

If you sold us products or services, you did us right.

If you allowed distribution of Folio Weekly at your business, your generosity cast light in this corner of Florida.

If you agreed to be interviewed for a story in Folio Weekly, I hope you feel we treated your story with respect.

If your name ever appeared in our masthead as an editor, writer, salesperson, designer, business manager, photographer, route driver, freelancer or contributor let it be known you were among the best at your craft.

Stay healthy and hope to see you soon.

Sam Taylor | Publisher

Sad to see.  Jacksonville needs as many outlets as possible.  FW for years laid it on the line when the main stream media wouldn't.  They had more than their fair share of great stories and revelations and often put the spotlight on the dark corners of our City. 

They will leave a great legacy.  I hope one day we can find a replacement for the voices it represented.

That is bad news.  I really hate to see them go.

SIKE!

They're back!
So, to the young people fighting in this movement for change, here is my charge: march in the streets, protest, run for school committee or city council or the state legislature. And win. - Ed Markey

Who is behind Folio 2.0? Seems like it came back pretty quickly

Stay tuned.

I appeared on Folio cover 1991 " Good News Black Creek" and later, declined  front cover photo regarding a weak article involving Freedom Commerce Center Expansion,Florida Wildlife Federation and ridiculous weak RiverKepper involvement.

A month after Folio Weekly shut down, local attorney John Phillips is bringing back Jacksonville's alternative weekly paper as Folio 2.0.

Great news!  Hope they pick up some story ideas and maybe writers from the Jaxson and its forum threads.  Lot's of fertile ground here!
