Bricks & Clicks
The Rockford Register Star is more than a newspaper: the ink on print or the “bricks” in the News Tower. We’re a multimedia news and information company: the “clicks” on our Web site and the TV clips on WREX-13. This blog explains our fast-changing media environment and interacts with our readers to show how and why we do what we do.

Don’t laugh. But I am really excited about something we figured out how to do today.

We now know how to post google maps in our online stories. We did it this morning with a story about a submerged car in the Rock River. May seem small, but I imagine this will help our readers.

I high-fived the copy editor who experimented with me and did a little happy dance in the newsroom. Yeah, I know, it doesn’t take much to excite me.

    Hey -

    Happy dance and excitement are good things! No laughing here. I like to know my newspaper staff get excited.

    Thanks, Phil. Maybe next time I’ll get someone to take some video of it. Then you would be laughing.
