The top editors at The Register-Mail in Galesburg, Ill., form an editors' roundtable.

The top editors at The Register-Mail in Galesburg, Ill., share their viewpoints on trending topics within their community through an online roundtable.

WHAT THEY DID: Editor Tom Martin, assistant editor Jay Redfern, assignment editor Lisa Coon and local news editor Rob Buck form an editors’ roundtable to discuss the latest news and issues that affect the Galesburg community. Each editor offers his or her insight and often will take an alternate path that leads to a different viewpoint.

THE TAKEAWAY: The roundtable puts topics of importance in the spotlight for discussion. It creates a forum for debate and thought on issues that matter most to readers. The result is a healthier connection between editors and readers, which leads to a stronger print and digital brand.
