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.

tornado: print boost, too

Add comment January 17th, 2008

we have written on this blog about the quadrupled traffic received on rrstar.com after the boone county tornado.

just an update: we also sold a few thousand extra newspapers the day after (jan. 8). these are the kinds of things people save for memories. i know i tucked away my copies.

no comment? no

i got a google alert on this article about how the media industry is handling story comments. basically, the headline is that most newspapers allow them, but they differ on how they regulate/moderate them. some require registration. some only post those approved by humans, which can be a ton of work.

we hope to have comments restored on stories here, with registration.
