The Texas Observer has been Texas' "Journal of Free Voices" since 1954. Focusing on Texas news, politics and culture, the Observer is the state's only source of independent, progressive journalism. The Observer consistently publishes the stories that other outlets ignore. National media like the New York Times, "60 Minutes," and National Public Radio look to the Observer for regional stories with national impact.

The Texas Observer is published monthly.
