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.

another web site makeover

2 comments November 12th, 2007

msnbc.com, one of my favorite national news sites, has revamped its look and navigation.

i’m still getting used to it, but overall i like it a lot: it’s clean, offers a lot of entry points and allows you to customize.

for example, local news from wrex, the nbc affiliate, feeds into the local area if you set that up (though it looks like the feed needs some work).

or you can move sports down and business up. or you can view more headlines or fewer.

Hello, Canton

Arrived in Canton last night and will head over to the Canton Repository in about an hour. I’ll get to see my former boss, Jeff Gauger, again. He left the Register Star this summer to be the top editor here in Canton. I’ll talk to his staff and journalists from The Times-Reporter, The Independent and The Suburbanite about the benefits of posting news to the Web and not waiting for the next day’s newspaper. I gave this talk in Boston a couple weeks ago. I am excited to do it all over again.
