1. Define what “local” means before a story is selected
Collinsville is recorded as a CDP in Henry County, Virginia. That relationship matters because a news page can become confusing if it treats Collinsville, Henry County, a broader Virginia audience, and a metropolitan area as interchangeable. The available location record does not establish a metropolitan relationship, so a firm should not present one as fact. Bosseo’s public Legal News description says stories are matched to a firm’s practice areas and state, while its examples refer to local and national sources across a state. The product decision is therefore geographic governance: decide when a story should be framed for Collinsville residents, Henry County readers, Virginia readers, or a broader audience.
Recommended approach
Ask Bosseo to show how geographic scope would be represented in proposed pages. Require each page to identify the relevant jurisdiction without implying that a statewide development is Collinsville-specific. Use the Collinsville and Henry County relationship as an explicit review question, not as evidence of demand.
