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.

Rockford fan page on Facebook features paper

4 comments June 26th, 2009

I am on Facebook every day. I enjoy reading status updates especially of my “friends” in Rockford. Yesterday, I was about to check the rrstar.com fan page when the profile picture from the Rockford fan page caught my eye.

Facebook Rockford fan page

The kid is holding the paper from the day after the FBI uncovered a plot to blow up CherryVale Mall. Derrick Shareef got 35 years in prison for his scheme to attack holiday shoppers in 2006. (We covered this extensively on the Web, however we lost most of the content when we launched a new Web site a couple years ago. This link will get you to a few of those stories, though.)

Interesting that the person behind the Rockford fan page picked this as the profile picture.
