| − | ==Buyout==
| |
| − | The Register-Mail, formerly owned by Copley, was purchased by [[GateHouse Media, Inc.]], the company that owns [[The Paper]] and the Peoria Journal-Star, April 11, 2007. This is a strong blow to Galesburg free media, as GateHouse has a strong history of gutting paper staffs and overworking their printing presses. It also removes what competition there might have been between The Paper and the Register-Mail.

| |
| − | They have a snazzy new Web site, but for some reason they moved to [http://www.galesburg.com Galesburg.com]. Register-Mail.com was a great domain name. I mean, who uses hyphens in a URL? That was awesome.

| − | ===Archive===
| |
| − | The new site seems to have lost the online archive that they had going. This will make citations on [[The Wiki Fire]] difficult until they get it back up.
