A clear explanation of what is automated,
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.
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.
