💨 Abstract

In 2025, AP journalists covered both historic and heartwarming stories. One journalist captured a call between the newly elected Pope Leo XIV and his brother in Chicago. Another AP journalist broke the news to a scientist in Seattle that she had won a Nobel Prize. In the Philippines, a wedding took place in a typhoon-flooded church, and in California, a youth theater group performed after a wildfire, showcasing resilience.
