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.

we have to work together

Add comment May 2nd, 2008

today, we’ve posted more than a half-dozen videos as part of this 180 degrees project to find solutions for a better rockford.

if you watched any of them, you noticed the introduction: we worked with our partners, wrex-13, to compose the images, animate the compass and choose the music. and judy emerson appeared on the air last night to introduce the project (video to come).

thanks to brian rieder, eric wilson and maggie hradecky at the tv station for their help so far.

and thanks to chris soprych and alan leon for pulling these first of many videos together.

the power of 2 is just one example of working together. to find solutions for a better rockford, which is this project’s mission, our whole community must pull together.
