1. Start with Lodi’s actual geographic scope
Lodi is a municipal-town in Washtenaw County. A page about an event in Lodi, a Washtenaw County development, and a Michigan-wide legal change serve different geographic questions. It is useful only as context when you define the audience and decide whether local, countywide or statewide coverage belongs in the plan.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to map proposed coverage to named places and to your permitted service area. Review whether a story should say Lodi, Washtenaw County, Michigan, or another exact location. Do not broaden a local incident into a countywide or statewide claim unless the underlying story supports that scope.
