1. Start with the correct geographic brief
Cullowhee is a CDP, not a county or metropolitan area, and the Census record places it in Jackson County. That distinction matters when you review a breaking-story page. A page may be intended for people in Cullowhee, readers elsewhere in Jackson County, or a broader North Carolina audience. Those are different editorial choices. A headline about a statewide law change should not imply that the event occurred in Cullowhee. A page about an incident should use only the location supported by the underlying reporting. Population is useful here as eligibility evidence for a location review, but it cannot tell you whether readers are searching or whether a news page will produce an inquiry.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how a proposed Legal News scope would distinguish Cullowhee, Jackson County, and statewide North Carolina coverage. Decide which geographic references are appropriate for each practice area before approving pages.
