1. Define the geography before choosing stories
Hampton is a municipal township in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The 2020–2024 American Community Survey five-year estimate records 18,185 residents, with a margin of error of 31. Decide whether coverage should address Hampton specifically, Allegheny County more broadly, Pennsylvania statewide developments, or another area the firm actually serves. A story involving a Pennsylvania law may be relevant across the state, while an incident in Hampton or elsewhere in Allegheny County may require narrower wording and careful factual treatment.
Recommended approach
Create a written coverage boundary for Hampton, Allegheny County, and Pennsylvania. Review whether each proposed page names the correct jurisdiction and explains why the development matters to the firm’s practice.
