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.

What’s up next?

Add comment May 5th, 2008

We started talking in depth this morning about the next piece of the project, a look at crime and how we got to where we are over the last three decades.

Judy Emerson has been digging into the topic for a couple of months, and we’ve outlined the main stories she’ll write. We want the online experience to be all that and a whole lot more, so tomorrow we will be plotting that strategy.

Already, we have one video in hand, with Police Chief Chet Epperson, and we will be producing many more.

What would you most like to know about crime in Rockford?

Didn’t we break away from Britain some 200 years ago?

Our word specialist, Bary Wood, started blogging today. Check out Wood on Words, where you now have an excuse to catch up on your jargon, gibberish, slang and gobbledygook.
