The year 2025 brought stories of loss, political strife and unimaginable tragedy.
But there were also stories of hope, progress and heroism in the face of grief and despair.
As the sun sets on 2025, Deseret News writers, photojournalists, videographers and editors have been documenting the past year in the form of personal reflection, written narrative, photos and video.
We remember the Charlie Kirk assassination, the Lesotho bus accident and the Grand Blanc, Michigan, church attack.
We remember those who stepped up to lead, and those who stepped in to comfort and entertain.
We remember remarkable individuals — those we bid farewell to, and those we came to know.
Throughout the year, we’ve done our best to give our audience the clearest possible window into the people, places, issues and institutions that matter to them.
And we look forward to doing the same next year.
We hope you enjoy this look back at 2025.
