1. Define the geographic boundary before selecting stories
Bear is a census-designated place, and its recorded county relationship is New Castle County. A Bear-focused firm may also serve clients elsewhere in Delaware, but those are different geographic claims and should not be blended. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says relevant stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state. That makes geographic scope an implementation question: should coverage be limited to Bear, framed around New Castle County, or written for Delaware generally? The answer should follow the firm’s actual service area and professional responsibility review, not the population estimate.
Recommended approach
Write a geographic policy before approving pages. Specify whether a story must involve Bear, New Castle County, Delaware law, a Delaware agency or court, or a broader event that creates a question for Delaware clients. Keep Bear, New Castle County and statewide coverage visibly distinct in titles and explanations.
