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.

A familiar voice

Jim Killam, adviser for the Northern Star, Northern Illinois University’s daily newspaper, spoke with WNIJ about the future of the journalism and its uncertainty.

At the Register Star, we’ve worked for years with Killam because his recommendations on students carry currency for us in hiring.

Of course, he worries about less investigative journalism and the ability to make money when people expect news to be free. In the end, he makes a good point:

“What our main product is is not paper and ink; it’s news and information.”
