The company says it encourages every individual's contributions and personal growth, fosters work environments that provide personal pride through job satisfaction and a balanced life, promotes open communications, innovation, and creativity, and strives for excellence in all its endeavors. As a local content business, Nexstar emphasizes that each of its television stations — including KNWA in Fayetteville — is a local service business that enriches the community it serves.

Community service is a point of pride: on its 20th anniversary in 2016, Nexstar launched the employee-driven "Founder's Day of Caring," sending employees across the country to contribute thousands of hours of service to local non-profits and charities, a tradition that continues among what the company calls "Nexstar Nation."
