This year’s USA TODAY Pictures showcase the powerful ability of visuals to bring readers into the heart of America’s biggest news events. From local communities to global stages, photojournalists across The USA TODAY Network have captured slices of time that capture our curiosity and attention.
The tumultuous year was marked by moments of joy, division, and nature’s fury. In Florida, Hurricane Helene brought devastating floodwaters, and photojournalists were on the ground to document the impact. Similarly, grassroots campaigns and political conventions took center stage, capturing the country’s fractured climate in all its complexity.
The thousands of images captured daily by photojournalists are showcased in this limited collection, offering a glimpse into the beauty and struggle of athletic achievement, community spirit, and the human experience.
