Story time in 270

Time again to get those headlines in for your top local, national and international stories of the week. You have been doing a good job these first two weeks, so keep it up.

Also make sure to get your localization or sidebar feature in as well.

See you Friday...

    Localization: Protests seem to be the IT thing right now so I would interview several protestors including the Billings protest against Planned Parenthood for supporting sex trafficking as well as those involved in the mega load protests. Just to see the effectiveness of protests on a smaller scale.

    Governor encourages killing of wolves against Federal authority
    http://missoulian.com/news/local/article_7d25caf6-3a20-11e0-a8ef-001cc4c002e0.html

    Sidebar: So this really reminded me of how Arizona tried to take its immigration problem into it's own hands. I think it would be neat for any type of paper to do a story on state problems the federal government isn't taking action on. Some states have such bad problems they take matters into their own hands and they don't always do what's right. This seems like one of those cases.

    I would do a sidebar feature on recent avalanche deaths in mont, and focus on what specific ski mountains are doing to train in avalanche safety and prevention. I would interview ski patrol, local backcountry experts, and skiers.
