How we work

Built with technology.
Accountable to people.

what people do, and where our limits are.

The Nexcom model

We are an AI-assisted, human-supervised publisher. Our publications summarize the work of credited sources. We do not produce original reporting or maintain a separate newsroom in every city.

1

Choose sources.

Our systems monitor local television and newspaper feeds, city governments, school districts, and other official channels. People decide which sources a publication follows and set the editorial rules.

Software also assembles calendars, civic-data directories, and briefings from public records and official feeds.

2

Create summaries.

AI helps draft concise summaries of the source material. Articles identify the source outlet or the journalist named in the source’s own feed and link to the original reporting whenever a source link exists.

A summary is a starting point. Readers should be able to continue to the source for the full report.

3

Review the output.

Our Texas-based editorial operation sets standards, reviews flagged items and samples of published output, and responds to readers. Human supervision does not mean that a person approves every article before publication.

The founders are responsible for the publications, the sources they monitor, and the standards the systems follow.

4

Correct the record.

Readers can report a problem directly to editor@nexcom.media. Include the article URL and what appears to be incorrect. A person reviews the report and makes a dated, public correction when warranted.

Each publication maintains its own corrections log at /corrections and a policy at /corrections-policy.

Learning in the open

We’ve made mistakes.
Here’s what changed.

Earlier versions of some publications used pen-name-style bylines. One site also carried an incorrect, decades-old founding-year claim from its original 2024 build. Those practices ended and the claims were corrected.

A July 2026 provenance review removed archival items whose sources could not be verified. These changes are recorded in the publications’ public corrections logs.

The lines we don’t cross.

No invented bylines, quotes, facts, or sources.

No claim that summaries are original reporting.

No obituary aggregation.

No claim of a local newsroom where one does not exist.
