Folio

FOLIO: which has covered the magazine industry since 1972, has decided to eliminate its regular industry reporting. In a note on the publication’s website, Access Intelligence group publisher Bill Amstutz said that the Folio brand would continue to exist, with a focus on such aspects of its current business as executive roundtables and the Eddie and Ozzie Awards. “While we are winding down our daily news coverage, we will continue to celebrate our industry’s successes while innovating new ways to highlight achievements and create meaningful connections,” Amstutz said. Access Intelligence purchased Folio as part of its acquisition of Red7Media in 2011.
