1. Start with the geographic decision, not a population assumption
Douglass Hills is recorded as a city in Jefferson County, Kentucky. A firm may serve Douglass Hills, the wider county, a metropolitan area or another defined Kentucky territory, but those are different scopes. A population estimate for the municipality cannot establish how many people search for legal help, which practices are competitive, or whether a breaking story will produce an inquiry. Legal News should therefore be evaluated against the firm’s actual service area and intake rules. Ask whether coverage should discuss a Douglass Hills connection, a Jefferson County issue, a Kentucky legal development or a broader story with clear relevance to people the firm accepts.
Recommended approach
Write down the geographic boundaries that a published page may address. Review proposed coverage for location accuracy before approval, and keep municipality, county, metropolitan and statewide references distinct.
