NAIS Has Its First Official Resister --Michigan Responds with a Farm Quarantine and Threat of Jail

This is totally new stuff for me and I am sure many NP members. Thanks for bringing it forward.

Couple of "newsy" suggestions:

1. Good idea to tell readers something about your story before handing it off to a blog or other news story on the web. This makes your "Invitation" to click through more compelling

2. Since I had never heard of NAIS before, it would be helpful to explain what it is

3. Although you do give some indication that you are opposed to this regime (and well done for doing that - it's part of being transparent and thus makes it easier for readers to get what your perspective is, rather than making them guess), somewhere in your writings about this it's a good idea to state clearly your perspective (and you might think about putting the tag "opinion" in or categorize it as opinion.

3. Think about your headline - what's going to really draw people in who know nothing about your story?

There's some headline writing tips and other juicy stuff here.

So now I get to say the main thing - I've marked this item as Good Stuff which means it'll show up much more prominently at NowPublic!
