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. |

Question:
Normally, stories about crime, especially violent crimes have the comments removed.
What’s different about this story?

I thought this blog “explains our fast-changing media environment and interacts with our readers to show how and why we do what we do.”
?
Where’s the interaction and explaining?

Dude: My apologies for not responding sooner. We decided to allow people to comment on the Baby Crystal and police shooting stories because of the strong community reaction. However, we still maintain the right to decide which stories we’ll allow comments.
