as expected, the national media are starting to pick up on the story of rare triplets born in rockford this week.

on the web, fox gives credit to wrex-13, which broke the story before the babies were born, and rrstar.com. we also have wrex’s pre-birth video of kalie and josh kuhl’s effort to save their boys, who have the rare twin to twin to twin transfusion syndrome.

we’ll be covering the 10 a.m. news conference later today.

she’s getting a makeover!

sunday life&style, that is.

ever since we launched the monday-saturday GO section two years ago, the life&style section went from seven days a week to one.

this weekend, we’re unveiling a new look for the page: more magazine-like, with shorter stories on topics readers have told us they like: family, home/garden, travel, tech, relationships, food, movies, music, books and fashion.

we’ll also have a health item from healthyrockford.com, which launches next month, and a short excerpt from rockford woman magazine.

maybe the highest profile change is moving elizabeth davies’ generation x/mommy column from thursday’s people section.

some things have moved: will pfeifer’s dvd column about older releases can be found in the friday go section. the “go way ahead” planner can be found in saturday go.

on a final note: remember when i asked for your mom/dad/grandma/grandpa moments and photos? we’ll put them in sunday life&style. so send them in to me at jpollock@rrstar.com!
