1. Define the geography before choosing stories
Oakwood is an incorporated city in Montgomery County, Ohio. A page about an event in Oakwood is not automatically a page about every Montgomery County resident, the Dayton metropolitan area, or all of Ohio. Those geographic relationships should remain distinct. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says its service matches stories to a firm’s practice areas and state, while its examples include local and national stories. That makes geographic review essential: a firm should determine whether a story is relevant because it occurred in Oakwood, elsewhere in Montgomery County, somewhere in Ohio, or outside the firm’s intended service area.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how a proposed story would be scoped for Oakwood and Montgomery County before publication. Establish an internal rule for when a statewide development warrants an Oakwood-facing page and when a local incident is too remote or sensitive to use. Do not use the city’s population estimate as a proxy for audience size or legal demand.
