It is a YouTube generation

I love YouTube. And I love Brett Favre. So when someone makes a video like this, I have to share. With the World Wide Web, we’re all publishers of information. Fun.
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. |

Geri Nikolai, a Register Star reporter and perhaps the biggest Packer fan in our newsroom, e-mailed a great column today on Poynter’s Web site. (Poynter is in St. Petersburg, Fla., and is a school for journalists.)
Jacqui Banaszynski shares how journalists could learn a thing or two from Brett Favre. She offers up a playbook for newsrooms to follow. I loved it (it’s no secret who I root for) and wanted to share with you.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tears roll down the face of Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre as he cries during a press conference announcing that he was officially retiring from football on Thursday, March 6, 2008, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis.

Made it back to Rockford on Tuesday evening and played catchup at work Wednesday-Friday, so I am just getting a chance to write about my trip to Canton now.
I had a nice time in Ohio, where I got to talk again about Web-first publishing and see our former managing editor, Jeff Gauger, who is now the top editor at The Canton Repository.
I made it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, too, and got to see all my beloved Packers who are there. Even the football Brett Favre threw to break Dan Marino’s touchdown record was there. I had my photo taken with Brett. Uh, Brett’s jersey and football.
