Getting ready to launch

     We are working full-speed right now on a new project aimed at finding creative solutions to entrenched problems facing Rockford and the Rock River Valley.

We’re calling it a campaign because it will be bold, and go far beyond the usual  five-part series in the newspaper. We’re taking a hard look at crime, the schools, the local economy, government and sense of place. Where are we now? How did we get here? What will it take to move the community forward?

We want to answer those questions and more. We hope to break new ground and we want our readers to be with us every step of the way, hence this new blog.

Over the next few days, you’ll be hearing from the reporters, editors, photographers and designers who readying the project for launch. As they say, watch this space.
