The Rockford Register Star

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rockford Register Star is the Rockford, Illinois' metropolitan area's primary daily newspaper. It is published from the Register Star Tower at 99 East State Street in Downtown Rockford Illinois, where its newly remastered presses give the daily news to Rockford area residents on the days in which it is operational. The paper began following the merger of two influential Rockford competitors, The Register Republic and The Morning Star. Its headquarters were built in 1930 and remain a Rockford landmark to this day, as it is still recognized as one of the most appealing buildings in Downtown. It was designed to be similar in appearance to the Tribune Tower in Chicago. The publication's general format is customary to that of most papers around the nation; it contains a front page and an "A" section, followed by Local and State news, sports, and business throughout the work week. On Sundays it publishes the Sunday Register Star, where ads for national chains in the area are promoted along with the insertion of comics, the "Go" section, and USA Weekend magazine.
