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. |

Our publisher, Fritz Jacobi, announced his retirement this morning. Scott Bowers, our former controller and Springfield Journal-Register publisher, will be our new publisher. Tom Lasley, our marketing development director, will serve as general manager. Bowers, who will be based in Springfield, will split his time at Rockford and the Capitol.

this week, we had a young aspiring journalist visit the newsroom. instead of spending time in the sun or sleeping in (if i were a teenager again, these would be high on my list), he spent almost four hours at the news tower.
brylind lawson of roscoe, a 16-year-old from hononegah high school, had a smile on his face most of the morning as we gave him a tour and showed him what it takes to tell stories in “the new world.”
he said he could see himself in our chairs someday. that’s what we love to hear.
