1. Define the geography before you define the newsroom
Calverton is recorded as a CDP, with county relationships to Montgomery County and Prince George’s County. Those relationships matter because a Maryland legal-news page can be locally framed in more than one way: a development may concern Calverton directly, affect one county, apply statewide, or matter to clients who travel across county lines. A population estimate for the CDP is not a substitute for a service-area decision. It cannot tell you how many people search for a legal topic or whether a particular story will produce a qualified inquiry.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to evaluate geographic handling before approving a publishing approach. Decide whether your firm wants coverage limited to Maryland law, coverage that adds Montgomery County or Prince George’s County context, or pages that explain statewide developments for people in and around Calverton. Require each proposed page to make its geographic scope clear rather than treating Calverton, either county, and Maryland as interchangeable.
