Regionals did some great features and policy analysis pieces this weekend. Many of them are pieces that you can do for your own paper. Hope they offer some good ideas and inspiration!
AMT: Herb Jackson in the Bergen Record delves into IRS data to show that a growing number of New Jersey families are paying the alternative minimum tax and reports on efforts in Congress to reform it. IRAQ: Sadly, the number of wounded soldiers as well as the casualties keep growing in Iraq. Larry Lipman in the Palm Beach Post profiles a local soldier who has undergone 14 surgeries to repair his shattered bones and muscles. This story is also a great example in incorporating audio/video.SENTENCING GUIDELINES: Sylvia Smith in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reports on potential new sentencing guidelines, using state-by-state numbers to show what would happen to Indiana prisoners. The state numbers can be found HERE.THE GREAT COIN CONTROVERSY: This is a doosey. Coin collectors are pissed off at the State Department for a new restriction against the importation of ancient coins. Who knew? Check out Rob Hotakainen's piece for McClatchy.ORNAMENT FEACH: Perfect for a slow holiday news day - check out Noelle Straub's piece in the Jackson Hole Star Tribune.
