1. Define the geographic decision before selecting stories
That distinction matters because Legal News is described as monitoring stories across a state and matching them to practice areas. Those are different editorial scopes. A highway crash, appellate decision or new Pennsylvania law may matter to the firm even when the event did not occur in Upper St. Clair. Conversely, a nearby incident may be unsuitable if the firm cannot provide a useful legal explanation.
Recommended approach
Write the geographic boundary into the review criteria. For each proposed page, ask whether the story has a genuine connection to the firm’s service area or Pennsylvania practice, whether the firm handles the relevant matter, and whether the page would help an affected reader understand a next question. Treat it only as a reason to discuss how Upper St. Clair and Allegheny County fit within the intended audience.
