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 that our reporters are trying new things. When I went to college, there was no such thing as a multimedia journalist bachelor’s degree. Most of the folks in our newsroom have had to learn new stuff. Much of it by trial and error. Take a look at Jeff Kolkey’s package on Page Park School that published today on rrstar.com. Jeff wrote the story, and shot and edited the video. It’s worth your time.

ever since we posted photos of old gas station prices and asked readers for their memories of how much gas cost per gallon when they got their drivers licenses, we’ve gotten responses from across the country.
back as far as the late 1980s, when i got my license, gas was under a buck: i remember 88 cents for unleaded at the mobil station near the hardee’s where i worked.
i love discovering your stories. especially because you’ve been telling us what cars you drove, too.
keep ‘em coming.
