Professional Reviews:

"I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with Dillon for the last couple of years in his role at 5NEWS. He has covered a variety of stories involving our schools during that time, and he is always professional and focused. He can ask the hard questions, while still being respectful, but at the same time not letting the interviewee off the hook. He is always prepared for the interviews, and he is also attentive to pursuing a new or different angle for the story, should it come up during the conversation."
-Alan Wilbourn, Fayetteville Public Schools

"I have enjoyed working with Dillon Thomas over the last few years as he covered the Fayetteville non-discrimination ordinance that I helped draft.  Dillon was always professional, exceptionally well-prepared, and precise in his questioning.  He gave fair and accurate attention to the legal, social, and political issues inherent in the local debate over the non-discrimination ordinance, and I always felt that his stories were balanced and based in fact.  Since moving to Fayetteville and becoming involved firsthand in effectuating change in local policy, I have had the privilege of working with a number of reporters, of both print and visual media.  Dillon stands out as one of the best.  I will miss Dillon when he transitions into the next stage of his career, and Northwest Arkansas will be short one top-notch reporter."

"I have had the opportunity to interact with many reporters.  As in every profession, there are always those who stand out from the crowd.  Dillon Thomas is one of those reporters. Through my interactions with Dillon, I have learned he is a consummate professional.  He is not afraid to ask tough questions, but he has always been fair and ethical in his reporting.   That means a lot to someone in my position.  I am also impressed with his seemingly natural ability to weave a story together in such a way that it draws people in. I always know, when Dillon is reporting on a story about the Sheriff’s Office, it will be fair, balanced and well put together from beginning to end. 
-Kelly Cantrell, Washington County Sheriff's Office

"Dillon Thomas has been a great reporter to work with in politics. Dillon has consistently shown himself to be professional, intelligent, and nonpartisan in his work. Personally, I have worked with him on multiple stories over his time at KFSM, and watched him mature in his craft. Dillon has always been a reporter that someone could count on to be fair, concise, and ethical with his stories. Dillon has always presented complex political issues in a way that the public can understand."
-Jim Reavis, Former Chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party Chairmen Association

"I've done several interviews with Dillon Thomas at 5NEWS, and I've always enjoyed them. He never fails to reach out for comment or ideas, his presentation is always balanced, and he executes interviews quickly and professionally. He's good at asking smart questions that keep interviewees on their toes. And I know if I reach out to him with a question or idea, he'll consider it thoughtfully. When you do as many interviews as I have in my time in the legislature, you really appreciate those who do them well."
-Greg Leding, (D) Arkansas State Representative

"As the Public Information Officer for the Fayetteville Police Department, I have the opportunity to work closely with Dillon on numerous stories. In my association with Dillon, he demonstrates exceptional journalistic skills. He is motivated to succeed and he works hard to deliver a complete story. In addition to an exemplary professional performance, personally, he is a pleasure to work with on a regular basis. He is enthusiastic, and one of the finest reporters I have had the opportunity to work with."
-Sgt. Craig Stout, Fayetteville Police Department
