The series was introduced this way: “In 2024, we follow the county around the clock in ‘24 Hours.”

’24 Hours, our 2024 series of two dozen stories started “one hour at a time” in the second week of January. The features concluded on Dec. 18, “two dozen parts of life in our local communities, moving in chronological order like the hands of a clock.”

Entering 2025, we take a look back at these separate, yet connected, slices of local life. Throughout, the News-Register’s writers and photographers — Rachel Thompson, Rusty Rae, Starla Pointer, Kirby Neumann-Rea, Scott Unger and Emily Bonsant — shared in gathering stories and images at all hours of the day and night.
