If youâre a longtime, loyal reader of the Headliner News, you might have noticed that the front page looked a little bit different than usual on March 31.
We loved running a nice, wide photo of Nixa kindergarten student Thatcher Dingus walking into school to attend class in person for the first time in 18 months. Thatcher, 6, is back in Nixa after undergoing treatment for cancer at St. Jude Childrenâs Research Hospital in Memphis.
That big photo of Thatcher, his family and his friends and teachers was made possible by our decision to move information about COVID-19 from the front page to the inside of the newspaper. For the first time in about a year, a regularly-occurring graphic with data for COVID-19âs impact on Christian County didnât appear on the front page of the newspaper. After a careful discussion between editor and publisher, it moved from Page 1 to Page 2.
