The daily newspaper of Galesburg, IL.[1] 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[edit]
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[edit]
Don Cooper has stepped down as publisher of The Register-Mail, reportedly surprising staff with the announcement.
New Web site[edit]
They have a snazzy new Web site, but for some reason they moved to 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[edit]
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.
