Nexcom Media polls 6 local news feeds covering The Woodlands and Montgomery County — 5 were publishing when last tested — and has indexed 17,340 articles from them.

Conflict of interest — read first. Nexcom Media is a commercial competitor to the outlets counted here. We operate an advertising-supported local-news site in every market listed, competing for the same readers and ad inventory as the stations and newspapers whose feeds we track. No Nexcom-owned domain is counted as a tracked outlet (verifiable: every feed's host is published below). We publish this anyway because every row is checkable — but weigh the source, and verify anything you intend to cite.

What the coverage is about

Of 50 recent The Woodlands articles, the classifier labelled them:

■ safety 38% ■ local 22% ■ government 14% ■ montgomery 10% ■ weather 8% ■ traffic 6% ■ business 2%

Labels come from a documented keyword classifier, not human review. 55.6% of articles network-wide match no topic keyword and fall through to "local", so that share is best read as "general local coverage", not a topic. How this is measured →
