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.

This is how JibJab rips on the news

Add comment July 16th, 2008

JibJab is one of those sites I love to visit every so often. I was surfing our blogs today and saw a link to a new Obama-McCain campaign video. That’s funny, but this isn’t a political blog.

So, instead, I’ll share the video, “What We Call The News.” It focuses mostly on TV news. A classic, for sure. Warning: Some risque material.

Want to see local TV personalities and politicians square off in a dancing competition? Well, you can. Check out Georgette Braun’s blog, Ask Geo, for the video. And make sure to cast your vote for the couple you think will take home the prize in the “Dancing with the TV Divas” competition at a fundraiser for Burpee Museum. There are nearly 7,000 votes cast already.

Here’s a look at the couples …
Gibbs and Winters
Laura Gibbs, WREX-13 reporter; State Rep. Dave Winters, R-Shirland

Nelson and Syverson
Kimberly Nelson, FOX-39 anchor, WTVO-17 reporter; State Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Rockford
