Year in Focus highlights Iowa City’s vibrant culture and captures the most important issues facing Gen Z students and the Iowa City community from August 2025 to May 2026. This project is a collaboration between The Daily Iowan Visuals Staff and the School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC).

In addition to a physical magazine, The Daily Iowan also published a digital version of the photos and stories featured, which can be seen here.
