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.

pick your candidate

wqad is running a survey similar to one by minnesota public radio. by answering where you stand on the issues, it tells you how the presidential candidates rate.

ok, so this is no exact science, but it is interactive and helpful to our audience to get them thinking about the election in a constructive manner. and since people like to share these things in e-mail, it starts a dialogue.

for example, my parents ended up with duncan hunter, and they had never heard of him before (above is an ap file photo of him). they also wondered, jokingly, how their daughter could end up so differently from them politically (let’s just say i don’t often vote republican, though i have for governor twice in tommy thompson and george ryan, and how was i to know that ryan would end up in prison?).
