The Springfield Daily Citizen is a nonprofit, independent, online news outlet in Springfield, Missouri. Since our launch on February 14, 2022, we’ve highlighted local arts groups; explored issues from Springfield’s teacher exodus to our community’s child care crisis; set you up for the weekend; explored our great outdoors; shared the diverse voices and opinions of our community; honored the lives of those we’ve lost; dived into our local sports scene; and debuted Springfield’s most comprehensive events calendar. We believe good journalism brings issues to light, but great journalism brings communities together.
