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 Observer features regular columns by former editors Molly Ivins and Jim Hightower, as well as economic analyses by James K. Galbraith.

The 32-page Observer is published bi-weekly.

The Obama Effect

After Obama swept through Texas yesterday — having raised more than $600,000 for the Democratic Party — it seems his visit didn't have quite the political reverberations many pundits expected.
