1. Define the coverage area before discussing a story
Toronto is recorded as a municipality in Jefferson County, Ohio. That relationship matters because a news page can be locally relevant without implying that every story in Ohio is relevant to a Toronto practice. A firm serving Toronto may also evaluate stories from elsewhere in Jefferson County, statewide Ohio developments or events tied to the firm’s actual service area. Those are separate editorial choices. Bosseo’s public Legal News page says its system monitors local and national legal-news sources for a state and matches stories to practice areas. The firm should therefore decide whether a story belongs because of its legal subject, its geographic connection, or both.
Recommended approach
Establish inclusion and exclusion rules for local incidents, statewide legal changes and stories outside the firm’s service area.
