1. Define what “local” means before news coverage begins
Robinwood is recorded as a CDP in Washington County, Maryland. It is not the same geographic unit as Washington County, a metropolitan area, Maryland as a whole, or the households and individuals within those areas. That distinction matters when a breaking story involves a road, court, agency, municipality or statute outside Robinwood. A page that says only “local news” may be too broad for a firm that serves a defined Maryland area, while a page limited to Robinwood may omit relevant county or statewide legal developments.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to review the geographic scope your firm actually serves and the places that should qualify for coverage. Decide whether a story should be addressed because it affects Robinwood, Washington County, another named Maryland location, or the state generally. Treat the Census population estimate as eligibility context only; do not use it to forecast demand or performance.
