About Dillon
Dillon Parkes is the Co-Founder and President of NEXcom Digital, Inc., the parent company of the Nexcom Media local-news network.
He leads the technology platform that powers 16 community news properties — including The Miami, The Fort Worth, The Palm Beach, The Brownsville, Bellaire News, Spring News, Woodlands News, Willis News, Waco News, Veterans News, Her Choice, LGBTQ News, Christgiving, Latinas Media, and Voz Hispano — and the parent brand at nexcom.media.
As President with operating responsibility for engineering, Dillon designed the edge runtime, the cross-site analytics pipeline, and the AI-discovery layer that lets independent local newsrooms share infrastructure without sacrificing editorial autonomy.
His focus is on serving local journalism at low cost and high reliability: every Nexcom site is a Cloudflare-edge-deployed worker that survives without VC funding, ad-tech middlemen, or paywalls.
Dillon's public work spans the network's open-source SEO tooling (the tier1-tier20 infrastructure modules), the IndexNow integration that pings Bing/Yandex on every new article, the Pay-Per-Crawl framework that licenses Nexcom content to AI training crawlers, and the Person/NewsArticle/BreadcrumbList JSON-LD schemas that make local news machine-discoverable.
He is reachable through nexcom.media/contact.
