The daily newspaper of Galesburg, IL.<ref>[http://www.galesburg.com/ The Register-Mail] the daily newspaper of Galesburg, IL.</ref> [[Tom Martin]], the paper's editor-in-chief, teaches a class at Knox every year, and publishes the best of his students' work in the Register-Mail so they can use the articles for clips when they're trying to find jobs or internships.
 
  
==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.
 
 
===Publisher steps down===
 
Don Cooper has stepped down as publisher of ''The Register-Mail'', reportedly surprising staff with the announcement.
 
 
==New Web site==
 
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.
 
 
The new Web site is easier on the eyes, and they are going to focus more on multimedia, especially video.
 
 
===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.
 
 
== References ==
