Looking Back on Articles from 2024

by | Dec 30, 2024

Before our eyes turn to 2025, the Editorial Board took a moment to look back at the amazing group of writers who contribute to the pages of News of Davidson.

These are just a very few of our favorites from 2024. Most of the writers you see here are community members; others are on the editorial board. We have brilliant poets. We have a gifted Davidson historian who helps us understand our community from its earliest days. We have a brand new columnist who writes meaningfully about Winks of Goodness. Our theatre critic gives us insightful pieces about local productions. Some writers focus on things that are deeply personal to them; some focus on broader issues facing our community. Represented on this list are stories about people who have had an impact on our lives. These columns might make you laugh or touch you deeply or teach you something new about our wonderful town.

In our town, we are honored by the writing you see in our pages. If we left out your favorite column, please alert us at our email ([email protected]), and we will add it to the list.
