1. Define the geographic boundary before choosing coverage
Your first decision is geographic. The relevant place named here is Fayetteville city, in Washington County, Arkansas—not every household in the county, every person in the metropolitan area, or the entire state. That distinction matters when you decide which stories deserve an attorney-angle page and which should remain outside your editorial scope. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its system monitors local and national legal-news sources for a state and matches stories to practice areas. It does not establish how many Fayetteville-specific stories will appear or how much local interest any story will receive.
Recommended approach
Ask in consultation whether coverage should prioritize Fayetteville, Washington County, Arkansas statewide developments, or a defined combination. Write the geographic rule into the review criteria. A story may be statewide in origin but relevant to Fayetteville readers; that is a judgment to make, not a result to assume. Keep county and municipal references accurate on every approved page.
