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.

a while back, i blogged about the chicago tribune’s makeover online.

today, the trib unveiled its redesign — narrower, like the register star became in 2006, and taking out “the big blue background” of its masthead. the publisher and editor explain the changes here.

looks good and clean.
