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. |

I love YouTube. And I love Brett Favre. So when someone makes a video like this, I have to share. With the World Wide Web, we’re all publishers of information. Fun.

We love history. And we found that many of you do, too, after we published several photos of former President John F. Kennedy’s visits here before he became president.
We debuted that gallery, our first in our “Remember When” series, two weeks ago. Online now at rrstar.com is the second “Remember When” photo gallery. We’ve packaged them together here.
The new gallery features former President Gerald Ford and includes pictures and newspaper pages from his Rockford-area stops in 1976, 1977 and 1980.
The idea for the “Remember When” series came from Register Star librarians. They wanted to share historic photos that once appeared on the pages of Rockford newspapers. Because this is an election year, we’ve started with photos of presidents who have visited the Rock River Valley.
