In 2024, Deseret News reporters and photographers worked tirelessly covering news that matters to the West and the nation. In three short videos below, Deseret News’ national political correspondent Samuel Benson, veteran reporter Lois Collins and photojournalist Jeffrey D. Allred share key moments from 2024:
From the assassination attempt of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, to Trump’s debate with U.S. President Joe Biden, this year’s presidential race followed a unique course. Deseret News’ national political correspondent Samuel Benson talks about his experience covering politics over the past year.
Deseret News photojournalist Jeffrey D. Allred shares his experiences in 2024, including taking photographs of President Russell M. Nelson’s 100th birthday celebration on Sept. 9, 2024.
Often, veteran Deseret News reporter Lois Collins finds herself drawn to stories about people who need help or about people who are trying to provide help. In 2024, she spent hours documenting a story about using cadaver dogs to find those who are lost, focusing on how these special dogs are trained and why this work matters — not only for the lost, but also for their families and society.
