180 Degrees
Want an inside look at a yearlong project by journalists at the newspaper and the Web site to help Rockford solve serious problems and turn around? We’re focusing on five areas that are key to our way of life in the Rock River Valley: Crime, education, the local economy, state and local government and our culture/sense of place. Would you like to help us in this campaign to bring about change? Give us your ideas and insights and help guide us to better solutions for Rockford. You can join the conversation here.

Crime coverage resonating with you

June 5th, 2008 at 02:15pm Anna Voelker

Since Tuesday, we’ve run stories, videos, photos and more each day as part of our 180 Degrees series. The focus this time is crime. We started with an overview on Tuesday. Then we shared Tina Miller’s story about losing her son to a heroin overdose about a year ago. Today, we told you about Karl Fort, who police say was responsible for bringing crack to Rockford.

These pieces are resonating with you. Page traffic on this package has been high. More than 12,000 page views on 180 Degrees content since Tuesday. We’ve garnered 20,000 page views since the project debuted in early May. Catch up and join the cause.
