BOUQ

To media outlets in Jacksonville for fact checking and reporting the real news. Contrary to what Dean Black of the Duval GOP says (in this issue!), we appreciate your dedication and determination to get the story and get to the truth. (More on Black in a minute.)

To Bishop Kenny High School for being named to the 2024 AP Honor Roll. The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results and broadening access for students.

 

BRICK

To Duval GOP Chairman Dean Black for declining to answer pertinent questions for a story in this issue and instead throwing the media under the bus. “Folio” gave Black the opportunity to answer the same questions as other interviewees but he refused despite having a wide-open platform to get his message out. Instead, he replied in a rude, unprofessional manner even opining the media is to blame. Thanks for nothing but insults and for letting down your supporters by dodging the questions with useless answers.

Jason Isbell: The Last Honest Songwriter

Words by Teresa Spencer In a music world bloated with flash and pretense, Jason Isbell stands tall with no rhinestones, no smoke machines, no bull. He’s one of the most critically respected American singer-songwriters alive today. The real deal: a man with deep Southern roots, a razor-sharp pen and
