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.

Breaking news Thursday

Add comment May 22nd, 2008

OK. I am just going to use a cliche. When it rains, it pours. That is, when news happens, it really happens. I am officially calling today breaking news Thursday. It’s not even 1 p.m. yet and here are the major stories we’re working on today:

  1. Alan Beaman’s 1993 murder conviction reversed by Illinois Supreme Court today.
  2. Triplets with rare disease born at Rockford Memorial Hospital.
  3. Gas tops $4/gallon in Rockford.

Typically, right before Memorial Day, we struggle to fill our Web sites and our newspapers with newsy news. Not today or tomorrow. And the day certainly isn’t over yet.
