Forty-nine people were shot dead after a gunman wielding an assault-type rifle and a handgun opened fire inside a crowded gay nightclub in Orlando in the early hours of Sunday after pledging allegiance to ISIS. Late on Monday night, the last of the 49 victims was officially identified by the city of Orlando on its website.

At its peak, the Orlando Sentinel had more than 350 journalists in the newsroom. On Sunday, as it ramped up to cover the nation's deadliest mass shooting, it had about 100. The Tribune Publishing paper still has the largest news organization in Orlando.
But those stories were covered by a much bigger newsroom.
Sunday's news wasn't just a tragedy for the community but a test for the newsroom to see if it was possible to do good journalism without nearly as many good journalists.
