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.

Historical galleries still drive Web traffic

Add comment May 12th, 2009

Web readers love Our Remember When historical photo galleries. We garner thousands of page views on them. Today’s on August Bargren is no exception. Bargren was a former Rockford police chief who was promoted in 1894 to the top job after only four years as a patrol officer. The anniversary of Bargren’s death is Saturday and it’s National Police Week so it seemed fitting to offer this look back. (Don’t forget to click on the link to our Remember When page which features more than 30 past galleries.)
