1. Set the geographic brief before reviewing stories
Hellertown is a borough in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. That relationship should shape the initial review: the firm can assess whether Pennsylvania legal developments and stories relevant to Northampton County belong in its coverage, while avoiding the unsupported assumption that every nearby event is relevant to Hellertown clients. The Census population estimate of 6,118 describes the municipality; it does not establish demand, competition or the number of people seeking legal help. A useful evaluation therefore separates the firm’s service geography from the municipality’s population. Ask whether the practice serves Hellertown only, Northampton County more broadly, Pennsylvania, or additional areas. Then ask whether a proposed story has a genuine connection to that scope.
Recommended approach
Give Bosseo a written geographic and practice-area brief for review. Use Hellertown and Northampton County as explicit geographic questions, not as proof that a story will produce inquiries. Exclude coverage that cannot be tied to the firm’s actual service area or legal work.
