Article Writing Toolkit
Michigan residents have been turning to MSU Extension for answers to their most pressing questions for more than 100 years, and digital communication is more important than ever. As MSU Extension continues to adapt to continue to meet people where they are, we have emphasized providing information online through educational articles, publications and videos.
Writing articles helps bring the vast knowledge and resources of MSU directly to individuals, communities and businesses throughout Michigan and the world. People utilize search engines or simply ask their phone to find an answer to their questions, and our educational articles are providing answers millions of times a year.
The more people who read our articles, the more people know about MSU Extension – who we are, what we do, what we offer, how we can help, and the many ways that people can connect with us to get involved.
