about us   


RockKansas.com is a subsidiary of CJOnline.com.

CJOnline.com and its network of Web sites are a product of The Topeka Capital-Journal and Morris Digital Works.

This site is updated daily, and has many features that are updated hourly, and even every 15 minutes (notably weather information feeds and constantly updated national news from wire services).

During weekdays, CJOnline has its own reporting staff so that the site contains constantly updated local news. Those updates usually begin at 8 a.m. or earlier, and run throughout the day and evening. CJOnline also has very close ties with The Capital-Journal's newsroom, and by late afternoon, readers of the site benefit as several stories from the next day's newspaper appear on the site.

This integration with the newsroom doesn't just relate to getting stories posted early to the newspaper's Web site. Many of The Capital-Journal's reporters also carry special recorders so that the online versions of their stories can contain expanded audio interviews. The Capital-Journal is also one of the few newspapers in the nation to employ a full-time videographer.

The main update of CJOnline (where our Web editors publish nearly all of the content from the next day's newspaper) usually occurs between midnight and 2 a.m.

The Capital-Journal is proud of its award-winning news, sports, photo, advertising and creative staff. Capital-Journal photographers have won such prestigious awards as the coveted Pulitzer Prize, the Robert F. Kennedy Award for Photojournalism and the Inland Press Association Sweepstakes Award. It has won the Sweepstakes Award from the Kansas Press Association numerous years.

CJOnline.com -- The Capital-Journal's online edition -- is widely regarded as one of the best and most innovative local newspaper Web sites in the nation.

CJOnline.com also offers the newspaper's content in several other "alternate delivery" methods. Several sections of the site are offered to Palm Pilot and other hand-held computers. In the fall of 2000, The Capital-Journal became one of the first newspapers in the nation to deliver its content to PCS-enabled mobile phones.

CJOnline.com and its network of Web sites, and The Topeka Capital-Journal print editions are owned by Morris Communications Corporation. Morris Communications, a media company in Augusta, Ga., has owned The Capital-Journal since 1995.

Morris Communications owns more than 30 daily newspapers and 10 non-daily newspapers spanning the nation from Florida to Alaska to Michigan to California. Along with The Capital-Journal in Kansas, Morris Communications also owns The Pittsburg Morning Sun, The Newton Kansan, The Dodge City Daily Globe, and two popular radio stations in Topeka, including the Wildcat Sports Network.

Morris Communications employs over 6,000 men and women, of which over 300 are employed by The Capital-Journal.

The Capital-Journal began publishing CJOnline.com in February of 1997.

Morris Digital Works is the Internet publishing division of Morris Communications Corporation. Morris Communications has built some of the most award-winning and critically acclaimed sites on the Web. Seven MCC Web sites have been national award winners as named by the Newspaper Association of America, including five national newspaper site of the year awards.

The Augusta Chronicle (AugustaChronicle.com) won the award in 1998, The Glenwood Post (SearchColorado.com) won it in 1999 and The Florida Times-Union (Jacksonville.com) and The Athens Banner-Herald (OnlineAthens.com) won it for their respective categories in 2000. The Savannah Morning News (SavannahNow.com) received the award in 2001. In the winters of both 2000 and 2001, Editor and Publisher magazine named The Florida Times-Union's site (Jacksonville.com) as the best newspaper sports Web site in the world. In February of 2001, Editor and Publisher named The St. Augustine Record's Web site (StAugustine.com) as the best online newspaper in the world for its respective circulation range.
