Monday's story ideas

Lead testing. Your kid already has a chest full of favorite toys you've bought recently... but how do you know if they're lead free?



Holiday jobs. Stores always add extra help this time of year... is that the trend in your market in light of the economy?

Fruit stand bargains. These operations traditionally buy from local farmers, hence do not have the transportation costs that supermarket chains must pass on to customers. It also helps the environment to buy local.

Cyber Monday. The online shopping version of Black Friday. This is the day many online shopping sites post their big sales... and you don't have to roll out of bed at 4am to get a bargain.

Green Christmas. Spotlight some products that are environmentally friendly. Parents, how about some rechargeable batteries for all those toys?

NFL vs. Big Cable. The matchup of the Packers & Cowboys in a few days is broadcast in the NFL network, available predominantly on satellite. The league is trying to get people to switch from cable to the dish. What's happening in your market... and will sports bars be packed out during this game between two 10-1 teams?
