1. Define the geographic job before choosing stories
The 2020–2024 ACS 5-year population estimate is 27,675, with a margin of error of 1,687. Your first Legal News decision is therefore scope: should coverage speak specifically to Drexel Heights, to Pima County, to Arizona, or to more than one of those areas? A story about an Arizona law may be relevant to a Drexel Heights resident without being a Drexel Heights story. A local incident may require narrower wording and careful source review.
Recommended approach
Write a geographic brief for the consultation. Separate Drexel Heights references from Pima County and statewide references, then identify which locations belong in headlines, explanatory sections and calls to action.
