It’s been a heck of a year Carson City, and we at Carson Now are so happy to be able to keep bringing you the news that matters most — for over 15 years if you can believe it! We’re just a tiny, independent newsroom made up of local Carsonites, but thanks to your support, we feel profoundly lucky to have become a prominent media source serving Northern Nevada.

We know transitioning to the new site was a struggle for many, because we as humans hate change (and some of you definitely let us know!) but we want to thank you for sticking it out with us this year.

We are grateful to our readers every day, not only for continuing to read our articles and complain about the lack of various restaurant options in our social media comment sections, but for actively being a part of Carson Now with every photo, video or community news report you send in!

Let’s take a look back at the top stories of the year for 2025 as we move forward to a new year in the capital city.
