the newsroom got the whole ‘hog

here’s some light fare for spring break week:
the rockford register star gives out monthly awards to recognize employees. the names and descriptions (below) come from the jim collins book “good to great.”
for february, the newsroom won the award for its coverage of the niu campus shootings. this is the first time an award has gone to an entire department. assistant metro editor bob schaper is pictured above with the oversized hedgehog that sits in the newsroom. he’s always wanted the little hedgehogs that come with the usual award.
of course, we don’t cover news for the awards. but we’ll take ‘em when we get ‘em.

Something stinks here. The RRS has been pigging out on awards lately.

It’s awards season, and I guess you could say judges have gone hog wild for the Register Star newsroom. (A little joke during this spring break week.)

to add to the smell, fyi: gatehouse media, our parent company, awarded the newsroom its february above and beyond award for niu coverage.
