1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
A local legal-news plan therefore needs an explicit boundary rather than a generic “local” label. Some stories may concern Robbinsville; others may matter across Mercer County or throughout New Jersey. Those are different editorial decisions. Bosseo states that Legal News matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state. The public description does not establish a Robbinsville-specific monitoring scope, so the firm should ask how a proposed plan would distinguish township, county, and statewide relevance.
Recommended approach
Prepare a written coverage map with three review questions: Is the event specifically in Robbinsville? Does it affect Mercer County? Does a New Jersey law, decision, enforcement action, or safety issue affect the firm’s clients more broadly? Approve pages only when the geographic relationship and legal relevance are clear.
