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.

Time to turn things around 180 degrees

Add comment May 2nd, 2008

You’ll hear a lot about our 180 Degrees project over the next year. And I want to invite you to join the campaign. It’s formal title is 180 Degrees: Solutions to a Better Rockford. We’re looking at how Rockford has changed over the last three decades in five areas that are essential to this community’s way of life: Crime, education, local economy, government and culture/our sense of place.

Our staffers produced several videos, photo galleries and stories that look at how we got here, assess strategies that have been tried to solve problems, and identify positive ways to move the community forward. (Find all of this by clicking on the link above.) I am proud of what my colleagues have done so far.

Stay in touch with what we learn and how the community is getting involved on our campaign blog, 180 Degrees. Be a part of the movement.
