1. Set the geographic boundary before reviewing stories
Spokane Valley is a municipality in Spokane County, Washington. A local incident may be relevant to people in the city, the county, or a broader Washington audience, but those are different geographic relationships. A page should not imply that an event occurred in Spokane Valley when it occurred elsewhere, and a statewide legal development should not be presented as a city-specific matter without a factual connection. Bosseo’s public Legal News page says its service monitors local and national legal-news sources for a state and matches stories to practice areas.
Recommended approach
Create a written geographic policy before approving pages. Require each proposed article to identify the actual place involved, the legal scope of the development, and the audience your firm intends to serve.
