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.

In case Sweeny is too humble to mention it …

Chuck Sweeny, author of the Sweeny Report, Register Star journalist since 1984 and someone well-known by just his last name, was promoted from political editor to senior editor Wednesday.

What does that mean?

The senior editor title is a new one at the Register Star, although it is used throughout the newspaper industry to recognize outstanding performance by an individual journalist.  … Sweeny will continue to serve as a voting member of the Editorial Board. … Sweeny will continue his column and political reporting and will assume additional roles in mentoring staff and shaping news and editorial approaches.

Congratulations, Chuck.

    Sweeny has never been humble in his life.
