1. Set the geographic boundary before choosing stories
Cary is recorded as a municipality in North Carolina, with relationships to Chatham County, Durham County and Wake County. Those are different geographic references, and a Cary firm should decide which one belongs in its news coverage. A story about a North Carolina statute may be relevant statewide. A story tied to one county may require a more specific explanation. A story involving Cary should not automatically be presented as a countywide or metropolitan event. Bosseo’s public Legal News page describes monitoring local and national legal-news sources for a firm’s state and matching stories to practice areas.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic relevance would be reviewed for Cary, the three listed counties and North Carolina. Agree on when a page should use a Cary reference, a county reference or a statewide explanation. Do not use the population estimate to choose a publishing volume or claim that a subject has demand.
