Value proposition

The Springfield Daily Citizen is a nonprofit news organization providing public affairs news for southwest Missouri.

The Springfield Daily Citizen works for the community as an independent nonprofit organization funded mostly by local donors. Our journalists are committed to telling the community’s stories in a nonpartisan, factual manner.

Our primary focus will be regular in-depth reports that delve into issues people care most about. This will include a broad range of subjects – the economy, education, government, health, recreation, arts and culture – topics identified through local efforts such as the biennial Community Focus Report for Springfield and Greene County.
