I am an editor for The Morning.

This year had a lot of news. Not coincidently, it was also one in which people searched for relief from the news. They bought books, went on vacations and exercised. They read about tragic marriages. They speculated about the secrets of a royal family.

The Times keeps track of what readers click on, which means editors can see what people find important — what they like, what they spend time with, what sparks their curiosity.

Below are the most popular news stories this year, as determined by what drew the most readers. We also have a collection of our most popular feature stories and videos; a list of stories that readers spent the most time with; and the ones that readers shared the most with one another.

The biggest stories

These were the news articles that readers clicked the most.

The presidential election

Times readers closely follow presidential elections, but this campaign had several moments that landed near the top of the list:

The UnitedHealthcare shooting

Readers were particularly interested in reading about the suspect, Luigi Mangione, after the police caught him at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pa.

The Baltimore bridge collapse

Readers closely followed the search for six construction workers who were on the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore when a massive cargo ship crashed into it in March. The men were later found dead.

A royal cancer diagnosis

After disappearing from public life earlier this year, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, announced that she had cancer. (She underwent treatment and says she is now cancer-free.)

A solar eclipse

Americans flocked to the so-called path of totality, shielded their eyes and gazed upward to witness an eclipse that traveled across the United States. (See the best photos from that day.)

Conflict in the Middle East

The war between Israel and Hamas remained intense all year. Readers were particularly interested in the news that Iran fired about 180 ballistic missiles at Israel, which raised the risk of a regional war, and in a video investigation of mass casualties that occurred as people crowded around aid trucks in Gaza.

Storms

Tragedies

The biggest features

These were the most popular articles that were unrelated to the news.

ARTS AND IDEAS

Near-photorealistic images from four video games, including Spider-Man and an

To attract bigger audiences, video game companies like Sony and Microsoft have invested billions in realistic graphics. However, in recent years, these upgrades have had diminishing returns: As games look better, the improvements are getting harder to notice. Some in the industry, which has been hit with layoffs this year, are wondering whether this longtime marketing tool is instead becoming a financial liability.
