1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
A Manchester firm should decide whether its Legal News coverage is limited to Manchester, addresses the Capitol Planning Region, or covers Connecticut matters that affect people locally. Those are different editorial choices. The Census record identifies Manchester’s county relationship as the Capitol Planning Region, but it does not show that residents search for legal news, that a particular story will attract inquiries, or that a wider audience is commercially valuable. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state. That supports reviewing Connecticut-wide relevance, not assuming that every state story belongs on a Manchester firm’s site.
Recommended approach
Write a geographic rule for approval. For example, the firm may review a Manchester incident, a matter affecting the Capitol Planning Region, or a Connecticut legal development with a clear connection to one of its services. Treat any broader coverage as a decision requiring a stated reason and an attorney review.
