1. Set the geographic boundary before selecting stories
Lawrence is a town in Brown County, Wisconsin—not a substitute for the county, the state, or a metropolitan area. That distinction matters when a developing story involves a road, court, agency, statute, employer, or incident outside Lawrence. A page that calls an event “local” should identify the actual place and explain why it matters to the readers the firm serves. Bosseo’s public Legal News page describes monitoring local and national legal-news sources for a state and matching stories to practice areas. Ask how the geographic filter would be applied to the firm’s chosen service area.
Recommended approach
Create a written coverage boundary before approval begins. Separate Lawrence-specific stories from Brown County matters and statewide Wisconsin developments, and require every page to state its geographic relevance accurately.
