Every week, The Carroll News staff is hard at work bringing hard-hitting stories to the John Carroll community. The inside of the office is typically bustling with students at all hours of the night, particularly on Mondays and Tuesdays, which are deadline nights, but this year definitely looks different as a result of the pandemic. Many staffers join in on Zoom, but some editors are still in-person every week.

This cart used to take a weekly adventure around campus with printed copies of the paper. Each week, the news staff would deliver roughly 1,000 copies of the paper around campus. This year, as a result of the pandemic, the paper went completely online.
