I’ve used the word folks all of my life. I don’t know where I picked it up but I have been coast to coast and border to border. I don’t say boy and girls when I am speaking to the men and the ladies.
Folks is a fine word but a bit informal for news media. I don’t think it’s coincidence that they only started using it after Obama featured it in his speeches and remarks.
