Sorry for this being way late and, in particular, I apologize to this week's news editors... But I am going to cut and paste the headlines I received and the comments to the older post into this post to make your jobs a bit easier.

Sidebar:

This is really the obvious choice for the story but I would talk to the people who protested, especially the ones who were arrested. I mean they literally tried to stand in the way of mega-load trucks. Why's it so important to them and what the heck were they planning to do if know was going to force them out of the way?

Localization- Look into MT state laws on murder sentences being shortened due to work and good behavior. See if there has been a similar case in MT. If so, talk to the family of the victim and the family of the murderer if possible. Also talk to MT citizens and see how they feel about our MT laws on early release.

I would do a local story on local montana politics and whether or not religious radicalization is an issue locally. I would interview professor Khia (Arabic and middle eastern studies) and ask what his viewpoint of local radicalization is.
