1. Define the coverage area before reviewing stories
Bosseo’s public Legal News page says its NewsFeed monitors local and national legal-news sources for a firm’s state and matches stories to practice areas. For a firm serving Pearl, the relevant geographic question is not simply whether a story mentions Mississippi. Decide whether your editorial scope includes Pearl, Rankin County, statewide Mississippi matters, or a narrower service area. Pearl’s recorded county relationship is Rankin County, so a firm may review whether Rankin County incidents, courts, agencies, and legal developments belong in its coverage alongside statewide stories. The population estimate for Pearl does not establish that any particular topic will be searched or that a page will produce an inquiry.
Recommended approach
Bring a written geographic rule to the consultation. Separate Pearl coverage from Rankin County coverage and from statewide Mississippi coverage. Then ask Bosseo how story matching would be reviewed against that rule before publication.
